      I have a lot of tabs open in my current Opera session and I need to format my computer and install Windows afresh. How can I carry the session over?

      I thought the simplest way might be to bookmark all the tabs into a folder, but there doesn't seem to be a bookmark all tabs option. There are simply too many tabs to bookmark manually.

        Go to your Opera settings, check the 'On Startup' section. Make sure "Where I left off" is selected. Then close the browser, obviously you need to make a current backup, and when you restart Opera all tabs should open again.

          You can save them as Speed Dial entries, backup your Opera's profile folder and then restore it after you had set up the new OS installation.

            You could also install a session manager extension.

              You may use sync using your Opera Forum User/Password and save also open tabs as well as your custom data.

              This is what Opera Sync syncs:

              But make a Folder Back Up it's a full bckp, so Sync.Opera.com do not bckp some stuff like extensions and it's config, other stuff don't remember since I use Sync but make Folder Bckps, also easy to manage multiple profiles.

              To find the path:

              OMenu > About Opera > Paths >> Profile
