The aforementioned ljArchive program is windows-only. Turns out one you start looking there is an infinity of LiveJournal archiving programs.
After some Googling I found ljdump, which is Python-powered and therefore runs happily on my Mac. Its author is working on a program to publish the resulting heap of XML files, ljpublish. 3 years ago

I’m with the others in agreeing that ljArchive is a good program that saves both your entries and comments to them. It feels good to know that I now have a local copy of my blog for backup in the rare event that LJ should lose it. 4 years ago

Whilst I’m pretty sure that LJ have a really good quality backup process I feel a lot more comfortable having my own backups. I’m actually going to do a backup of all my important files onto a DVD this morning too! 5 years ago
