Well It is Very Simple To take Backup of Your Bookmarks in Chrome without using any other 3rd Party Tool. Simple steps are.

Taking Backup of All Bookmarks:

Steps:

2. Now Right Click on Bar and select "Bookmark Manager". One Dialogbox will appear.
3. Next step is, In that new Dialogbox - you can see "Tool" menu. Click on it and select "Export Bookmark" (You can select the Parent Folder of the Bookmark To take all Backup)
4. Specify the Location.

End Result - You will get one HTML file with all Bookmarks are in it as a HTML links.
