Maybe you already knew/know this.

Sage stores its RSS links in Firefox
Bookmark File.

Backup the Bookmark File and
you have effectively backed up your
Sage Links as well.

You can also export your Sage Bookmarks
to an OPML file.

You can also do a PARTIAL OPML file
from your Sage links.

You can also do a PARTIAL load of
your Sage links.

For example: 

I have Newspapers setup in a folder named
appropriately:

Newspapers

If I name that Folder:

** - Newspapers

It is then easier to find in the Bookmarks file.

I can then in my settings simply select the

** - Newspapers

folder and

I now have a listing in Sage of only that folder.

I can then export that folder to an OPML file
which will have (instead of "Main") a folder
which is titled "Newspapers".

These little tricks make it considerably easier
to organize, import and export, and share Sage
links as well as to list just the links you're interested
in looking at and no others.

Want a quick way to generate an OPML from
a list of HTML feed links?

Try:

Firefox Extension:

Copy Links
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/605/

with it you can copy All or Selected links off of
a page into the clipboard, paste them into a
text editor, if necessary, reduce the list to
just the feed links, then copy and paste them into
an OPML generator page, such as:

http://www.feedshow.com/goodies/opml/OPMLBuilder-create-opml-from-rss-list.php

and presto!

A custom OPML file with VERY little effort on your part.
