There isn't a specific way of doing this built into the browser. You can
backup and restore the entire profile (which is what Mozilla suggest)
[0]. In this case, you'll want the profile at
tor-browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Browser/profile.default/

Bookmarks can be exported using the built-in backup/restore process[1].

Tor Browser doesn't provide any additional feature for this. It's simply
a more private and secure version of Firefox.
