history.dat backed up anywhere?

history.dat backed up anywhere?
Wed, 16 Apr 2008 22:34:32 -060
.... I kind of doubt it, but i just noticed that since Firefox crashed 
two days ago I lost my entire history.dat file.

It's not backed up somewhere that I'm not aware of, is it?

As far as I know, the only thing that is backed up by FF, is the
bookmarks file.

Hi Chuck,

Did you try a System Restore?  No guarantee a DAT file would be 
included, but if you try it and it doesn't work, you can always reverse 
it.  SR has never worked when it was really needed anyway, and I don't 
rely on it at all any longer.  Regular backups are your best friend.
