Backing up your Chrome setting is very fundamental most of the times. You will never lose any personal information, passwords, and favorite pages. Whenever you are formatting your computer, make sure you back up your Chrome settings before the formatting process.

You can back up Google Chrome setting by enabling synchronization

Here, you can back up your entire chrome settings including bookmarks, extensions, passwords, tabs, webpages and other customizations by simply signing in to your Google account. If you sign into your Google account, Google Chrome will update your back ups to you account and you can access them anywhere, and at anytime. As a security measure, don’t log into your Google account when using public computers.
