Sidewise is great - looking for a way to backup & transfer
I really like Sidewise. It's easy to use and lets me handle all my open tabs in an intuitive way. If you need a Chrome tab manager, this is the one to get - I really do mean that! Excellent job, Joel!
With that said, here's what I'm having problems with:
1) How do I protect all the time I'm putting in to create my tab outline? In other words, how can I back up my outline? If I can't protect my outline, I can't use it.
2) Actually could become part of number 1 - How do I copy my outline from my desktop to my laptop? If I have to recreate everything, I'm wasting my time and won't do it.

I have some (admittedly rather primitive) export/import functions coming in the next version. Basically it will export all of Sidewise's settings and data to your clipboard, which you can then save to a text file. For the import side, you reverse the process (paste some previously exported data into a text box in Sidewise).
Longer term, I'll be looking at ways of exporting/importing that don't involve the clipboard, such as storing your data in a database that I host on http://sidewise.info, and doing silent automatic backups of your data on a periodic basis ... and then basically adding a drop-down list to the options page that lets you restore to one of the "earlier versions" on demand.

I've lost my tabs a number of times (sometimes well over 1000 tabs). When I backup to clipboard, it always gives me an error when I try to restore, and clicking emergency restore has never done anything. Please advise.
