Backup Utilities: Save your weblog with Blogger Backup
YES!! I really really hope this works as well as advertised… I’ve been terrified for as long as I’ve been writing on this blog (3 and a half years! That’s practically ancient by blog standards!) that one day the earth will open up and swallow the happy little server farm that’s hosting my little slice of cyber-egotrip. I had read about a way to temporarly list all your posts on a single page and save that as a backup, but with over 350 posts I can’t imagine that working as well as one might hope. Never mind how would I ever get it back up online if the unthinkable did happen…
Now I haven’t checked this program out yet, but it certainly seems a far more elegant option. You know how it is, the only way to make sure I never need a backup, is to back up!
Windows only: Save a local copy of your entire Blogger blog using the new Blogger Backup utility (currently in beta). Weblog Digital Inspiration reports:
With Blogger Backup, you can backup your blog posts into a single file or one blog post per file or multiple posts per file. The future versions may even save your blog posts into PDF files that you can distribute as eBooks.
Blogger backup can download everything or you can do incremental backups meaning backup just the new posts since your last backup or download blog posts posted between any two given dates.
Being Blogger blog-less, I haven’t given Blogger Backup a spin, but it sounds way more user-friendly than using DownThemAll! or other web site copiers. Blogger Backup beta is a free download for Windows only.
