FavBackup backs up browser settings (IE, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chrome)
FavBackup can handle your browser history, bookmarks, cookies, preferences, and other data. And it's both a free and portable application, which means you can run the executable utility from a USB flash drive without installing FavBackup to your computer.

Great find, I'll definitely be using this.
Small point but it can be hard to find the download link in your articles sometimes. Here for instance I had to click the screen shot, which isn't really where I expected the link to be.
Still, small annoyance, thanks for highlighting this.

We typically include 3 download links in every story. One in the body of the article (which I accidentally omitted this time), one behind the photo, and one in the "source" link at the bottom of the article.

Does the backup for opera include everything? Mail, RSS and so on

Can it be controlled from the command line so that it can be used in a script?
I don't see any mention of this, and many Windows programs have a bad habit of not exposing functionality via command line options so I suspect this is another one of those which would be too bad as it would be nice to include in a backup script....

How does this compare to FEBE? I know it says it captures everything, but I'm curious if it really works as advertised. FEBE works perfectly for me, but I'm interested in the fact that you can run this from a USB drive. I wouldn't mind being able to ditch the Firefox extension and not having to worry about going through the whole setup, which can be tedious.
