BrowserDataBackup

Disable backup or restore of profile data. Backup and restore can be disabled individually.

Values

BrowserDataBackup accepts either a boolean or an object. When set as a boolean:

Set to true to allow backup and restore of profile data, and lock both settings.
Set to false to disable backup and restore of profile data, and lock both settings.

When set as an object, backup and restore can be controlled separately. Both keys are locked, and a key that is left out keeps its existing value:

AllowBackup: Set to false to stop profile data being backed up.
AllowRestore: Set to false to stop a profile being restored from a backup.
