All Safepay bookmarks are stored in

C:\ProgramData\Bitdefender\Desktop\OBK\<yourUsername>\BankingUrls.xml

Each Windows user account has its own <username> folder and a different BankingUrls.xml file.

You can back up this file by copying it into another folder from your computer (e.g. on the Desktop). After installing a fresh copy of Bitdefender you will be able to import the Safepay bookmarks by replacing the file BankingUrls.xml with the one you have on the Desktop. This procedure only applies to Safepay bookmarks, not other browsers.

Keep in mind that all the Bitdefender files are protected against any modification when Windows is running normally. This means that you need to replace the file in Safe Mode. 

Below you will find easy to follow step-by-step instructions to assist you in manually exporting and importing your Safepay bookmarks.
