Hi, @deanoemcke thank you for your fantastic plugin. This 'issue' is probably no… t really to do with TGS but may serve as a reference point for anyone else who experiences similar and may think it is. I do give some 'feature' request ideas at the end, but seeing as this is open source then I should find time to contribute :)
#### Background
I ran out of disk space and had to force quit Chrome. When it loaded up all seemed fine, it asked to restore the last session but it did nothing, the session/tabs had gone. I checked in TGS and sure enough my last session was there in the Recent Sessions ready to be restored \o/... I even saved it, just in case.
For some reason, I decided to have a look at the 'Last Tabs' and 'Last Session' files in the Chrome directory. The Session file had been truncated. The Tabs one was there. I decided to copy these back over the current ones and restart. Obviously nothing new happened.
Anyway, I decided to just restore the session from TGS and get on with my life, however, when I opened it up again (after this seemingly innocuous file manipulation) I discovered it too had all gone. And checking the TGS directory under the IndexedDB directory I noticed that the ldb file had gone and the log was truncated too.
I was surprised by this! I [read some noise](https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/76k23b/onetab_lost_all_tabs_recovery/dpd4o7n/) about Chrome clearing out ldb files, but no great insight. So not 100% sure why this happened...
_So this is just for awareness for others. If you find yourself here, then I am sorry and you may need to look at backups, although no idea how to restore one atm. Failing that then much advice here https://github.com/deanoemcke/thegreatsuspender/issues/526 - I luckily had a browser reload a few days before and trawled history to find most of them in one place. You may need disk recovery if it is important to you..._
**Main lesson: Next time you need to restore a session and you see it in TGS, then just do it! 🤦**
#### Feature Ideas
This all said, I have wondered what could be done TGS side to mitigate this. Here are some possible ideas to prevent this in future:
* May it be possible to save a periodic backup to the cloud, similar to how the settings are done?
* Or when we save a session, rather than use IndexedDB, could we use another, maybe LocalStorage (if that isn't cleared too), or possibly something more external, an sqlite DB perhaps?
If I find anything more about the lifecycle of LevelDB files and what may have triggered this then I'll post back here. Thank you

So, you probably didn’t save the seed phrase or private key from your mobile. In that case the only other option is to see if you have any .ldb files that were deleted but are still on your HD on your computer. To do that you need a forensic program. There is a free one called Stellar Data Recovery. It allows up to 1GB of data ( your ldb files will be much smaller) When you run it, you have to save the files on a flash drive. Anyway. run it on this folder and save any ldb and log files to your f…
