I've been using Chrome, then it crashed. If I restart the computer and reopen Chrome, there will be a Restore button.

But what actually happened was that I restarted in Safe mode, and when I reopen Chrome (while in safe mode), it's blank (no Restore button, just a blank window). I quickly sensed trouble and restarted the computer back into normal mode again. But after that, when I reopen Chrome there's still no Restore button to be found! In the homepage, the Recently Closed isn't showing at all.

Basically I was wondering how do I do a restore now that the button is gone?

As soon as I've realised I'm in deep soup, I quickly did a backup of the profile:

As we can see, the Last Session and Last Tabs are 1KB each.. zz. I was wondering does anyone have any knowledge about the History Index and if I could do a restore using it?

The History Index files contain your navigation history. The one without dates is from the current month.

With regards to restoring the previous session, try passing --restore-last-session in the command line.

This is working however my "last session" is now not the session I wanted anymore (when it crashed), I'd guess essentially what is required is a --restore-last-last-session or a way to copy around the data in C:\pocket\chrome such that I can get the --restore-last-session to restore the "crashed session". – Pacerier Oct 3 '11 at 18:18

Sorry, there is no way to do this, as it only preserves the current and last sessions. – kAlug Oct 3 '11 at 22:15
Where does Chrome save the data for the sessions before the previous session? – Pacerier Oct 5 '11 at 1:30
It doesn't. Only the current and previous sessions are stored. – kAlug Oct 5 '11 at 23:55
Gosh this is the first problem I have that has no solutions! – Pacerier Oct 6 '11 at 13:15

Take a look at the recently closed link

Chrome recent closed

Your previous tabs are likely to be there.

I've checked that initially. It wasn't there. Now there is but it is looking like this: screenshoot.me/WHzjfA – Pacerier Oct 3 '11 at 18:09
