I have been using Brave browser for more than 1 year now, due to some issues I am now resetting my Windows 11 Laptop which will also lead to reset Brave, can someone tell me detailed process to save the complete Brave data(I have two profiles in Brave) and also use it again after my Windows reset is completed

Awaiting for an early reply from the dedicated community.

I’ll tag @saoiray to ask if I am right. thanks
