Since the backup is a data item, like a shopping list
or a tax form, put it where you normally store such
stuff.

Store it in a place you will remember.

The restore function can fetch a jsonlz4 from a
folder other than the profile, so you really
should be able to put it somewhere else.

Firefox has the two formats. It can Export to HTML.
The backups it keeps are stored in jsonlz4 format.
That's a human readable json, with an unnecessary
compression step (lz4) added, to muck things up. And
to boot, the idiots at Mozilla changed the header on
the LZ4, breaking my little C program that decompresses
these files. Boo and hiss, Mozilla.
