I deleted Safari bookmarks by mistake. Do they get backed up with Time Machine? If so, where can I find them?

I have my Safari bookmarks linked via iCloud. The other day I deleted my book marks from a laptop that I am no longer using. I forgot that it was still linked via iCloud and I have now wiped all of my bookmarks from all of my machines. I back up regularly to Time Machine, and assume that my bookmarks are there somewhere. Does anyone know if bookmarks are stored on Time Machine and, if so, where they are located?

buttelax,


Paste this text ~/Library into the Finder Menu>Go>Go to Folder...window and select "Go." This will open the Users Library Folder.

Then open the Safari Folder, and you will find the Bookmarks.plist file.

Enter Time Machine and restore that plist.
