Go into your user folder, then go into your Library folder, then choose your Safari folder. Your bookmarks should be in there. I'm not currently on my computer right now, so I couldn't tell you exactly where it is. If you can't find your Safari folder, run a search for Safari in your Library folder.

If you still can't find it, just let me know and I'll find it when I get home. :)
 
They are here;
user>library>Safari

Just option copy the Safari folder to where ever you want to back it up to.
 
thanks

Just backup the "bookmarks.plist", or the whole Safari folder. Why would you want to open it?
 
just to check it , really - i know there's no need but it would be nice to if i could

You can open it with the application "Property List Editor". I think it's installed along with the developer tools (a seperate CD that come with Mac OS X).
 
But it doesn't look like any "normal" bookmark list. Traditional bookmark lists can be read in html. The Safari .plist cannot.
