How to back up my blog by sushimustwrite

"If anything happens to my online journal, I can rest knowing that I have a backup on my computer."

How I did it: I have an online journal at LiveJournal, where there are many tools developed by users to back up your journals.  Some will back up only entries, but others will include comments and tags and even let you export your journal to another journaling site.  I chose a tool, downloaded it, and followed the instructions to download all my entries and comments to my computer.

Lessons & tips: * Not all tools will work on all operating systems, but there is at least one tool for each operating system.
* Do it! You never know if something is going to happen.  Some of you have years of your life contained in an online journal.

    I thought I had done this before., but it didn't copy the photos, which are the heart of the blog 4 months ago

    So now I am cutting and pasting into a Word document. It’s taking a few hours, but I’ll be glad I did it!

    back up early, back up often 3 years ago

    after TypePad crashed last year, I panicked.

    Now I back up, at least semi-regularly.

    This is reminding me to make it a daily calendar event.

    Automated backups are the way to go 3 years ago

    If you have access to do this for your blog, I would recommend using a cron script to automate this.
