I just had my Mac drive wiped clean to start fresh and I thought I had saved a backup of my bookmarks. I don't think I enrolled in Sync before although I don't know how I got my file with the bookmarkbackups and places.sqlite files (63 items in that folder - vmtpqxbh.default). Where do I place these backups?
