Thank you Russell. I'm running Yosemite. SRRecover requires El Capitan, but I'll give you an update after I upgrade.

Where are session stored? -
Where are session stored?Russell, I've tried -
-
duplicating the old plist file (renaming it "com.apple.Safari.Extensions copy.plist"), saving a new session in SessionRestore window of the browser, and then quitting Safari - then swapping the old plist file (properly renamed) for the new plist file; and
-
just copying the relevant data from within the old plist file (from <key>ExtensionSettings-com.sweetpproductions.sessionrestore- . . . through the data I want to recover . . . to the <string>'9.0.2"</string> </dict> and pasting it into the new plist file - substituting from the same beginning to ending text points that matched inside the file.
Unfortunately, when I relaunched Safari and tried to use the SessionRestore function, neither approach re-opened the SessionRestore "sessions" page with my original sets of sessions allowing me to pick one of them to restore. Only the subsequent sessions that I saved since writing you showed up. I would be grateful for a suggestion for how to do it the right way. I have several days of work tied up in the sets of tabbed browser windows, so if you can steer me in the right direction that would be great. I'm guessing it is fairly simple if I know the secret handshake. Thanks in advance.

Where are session stored?I found the .plist file and within it the entries under:
<key>ExtensionSettings-com.sweetpproductions.sessionrestore-X9X8XCXMXK</key>They appear to be the stored sessions. I use manual backups rather than Time Machine but the last backup preceded the use of SessionRestore. Is there a way to get the information in the .plist back into SessionRestore (like an "import"so I can click on it to restore that saved session?

Where are session stored?I've been using SessionRestore for a couple months. Every week or two I save a session to go back to, thinking if Safari crashes it would help me recover. Well it finally crashed today. And when I went back to restore the last session, the "sessions" page with all the sessions I've stored (which previously showed 8 sessions), is blank. Where did they go? Is a backup saved to disk somewhere? Thanks.
