Your required output doesn't really clarify your desired behavior. Do you want the change only on lines that start withRun=orVol.apps? Every line except ones that start withName=? Only lines that contain a "p"? Something else?

According to the information you have provided, you want to replace it at two places, so you can use:
sed -e /^Run/s/chrome/chromeBackup/g -e /^Vol/s/chrome/chromeBackup/g file_name

More general perhaps, change all instances except those on the line starting Name=
from="chrome"; to="$fromBackup"; sed "/^Name/! s/$from/$to/g" fileToChange
or just skip the first line
from="chrome"; to="$fromBackup"; sed "2,$ s/$from/$to/g" fileToChange
or only in the lines starting Run or Vol
from="chrome"; to="$fromBackup"; sed -E "/^Run|^Vol/ s/$from/$to/g" fileToChange
