Connectedy is Back, But No Easy Back-up Option?

While Connectedy -- our shared bookmarking service -- was gone I began moving things to Netvouz. Netvouz's arrangement of links is less librarian-friendly in my opinion. Connectedy came back online about a 6 weeks ago and we began updating links. However, making a back-up is somewhat of a problem because I have not been able to find an export feature in Connectedy. Importing (uploading) bookmarks is an option, but not exporting. Let's hope we do not lose Connectedy again. The only back-up I can currently think of is to open each category and print every link and keep a paper copy and build again somewhere else, like Netvouz! I will appreciate any ideas others may have about solving this problem. One other problem this service is that the once "public-view" or "shared-view" has disappeared and it requires a login and password for viewing. I have been scouring the site to find how to correct this problem but as yet have not been successful. For the time being, Connectedy is our best option, but I will continue to check other social bookmarking services for something that works better for us.
