Export content from Chromium History

under Export, Chromium, English

Since http://ietherpad.com is down and I was notified all data was lost, this ruined my day, since I was already planning for past few weeks to write a script that would do daily backups.

There is bright future however. I am migrating to http://titanpad.com, wrote backup script in advance, and also managed to get some data from chrome cache.

Here are the steps:

  • on linux, figure out which history Index are you interested in: grep -R ietherpad ~/.chromium/Default/*
  • open it: sqlite3 ~/.chromium/Default/HistoryIndex2011-11
  • find your page and retrieve data: select * from pages_content where c0url like %ietherpad%
