How to Recover Chromium sessions from directory?

I had some issues with my system and am unable to start Chromium/Chrome - how do I recover the exact state of the browser via the files stored in .config folder? Do I just copy them to a new installation?

Is there a way to recover the open tabs?
 
Well, whatever you do, make a tarfile backup before opening it again with Chromium.

As for restoring, I don't know any better way than to start Chromium and hope for the best.

In the future you might consider an extension like "Session Buddy", which works really well for me.

I am actually trying to copy the `.config/chromium` folder with cp to a usb - but the cp comand is giving a lot of errors with 'cp : chown : filename : invalid argument' errors while running ?

And I did have Session Buddy but my file system/zfs somehow got ccorrupted - so I'm trying to see if I can salvage the sessions from Chromium/chrome by copying files under .config to a new setup
 
FAT doesn't support setting an owner or permission on files. It therefor cannot set the ownership of those files (which is what the error is telling you). Has no influence on the actual content of those files. FAT does have a file size limit though, that's 4GB (in other words, you can't save files larger than 4GB on a FAT filesystem).
