Chrome - session buddy

I'm using Session Buddy for Chrome to save all my browsing tab states.

However, in the settings it does not seem to have an option to change the frequency of the saves i.e. every 2, 5 10 or x minutes.

Am I missing something?  Also, is there a way of accessing those tab states from another computer e.g. continue where I left off from home to the office or vice versa?

So in a situation where if you close a session and it doesnt have 2 windows opening up (where the session had 2 windows) or where you might have closed some tabs a few hours ago and then shut down Chrome, there is no way of bring them back?

Take a look here and check your settings
Before you start using Session Buddy and relying on its tab session saving, it’s advisable to spend a moment or two checking through the settings to ensure that everything is configured in a way that makes sense for the way you work in Chrome.
 Click the menu button to the far right of the Chrome toolbar,
select Settings and then click the Extensions link to the left.
Locate the entry for Session Buddy to the right and click the Options link beneath it.

Make sure Session Buddy is configured to your liking before using it.
 
On the General tab, you can use the first drop down menu to choose what happens when you have tabs open in multiple windows.
You can use Session Buddy to restore them to their original windows when you need to recall them, or you can opt to have them all combined into a single window if you prefer.
 
The descriptions for all of the available options make it clear what they all do, so you can just enable the ones you think you will find useful.
You can always return and change things later if necessary.

One setting that is worth enabling is the one labelled ‘Show tab count of current session on extension icon’ which will let you know how many tabs you have open at any given time through the toolbar button.

And to use/see tabs on different computers, you have to log into chrome on each computer to see those tabs.  You then should have Other Devices available.

Merete,

Thanks for the information, it was informative but already knew all of that.

What I really need is a way to go back in time say at a certain time point or session point during the day.  Using the example I gave earlier, if I closed some tabs say during the day, I want to try and revert to an auto saved session during the day.  I need to find a way of controlling how many auto saved sessions there can be in a day or week etc.

Thx.
