How to Back up Your Blogger Blog

I know of at least two ways that you can back up your blogger blog. The first one is to open up a free backup blog on wordpress.com and then import your blogger blog. However it is the other method that I want to look at today.

The nice guys over at codeplex.com have made a free blogger blog backup software. Their newest update (January 26, 2008) solves some bugs and plays much better with the new blogger. So if you are a windows user head over to codeplex.com and download Blogger Backup (Windows Only). It is a small download - the zip file clocks in at less than a megabyte.

Blogger Backup can backup your blog and your comments. It can restore deleted posts also. On top of that it does will do incremental backups - that means it only has to backup your changes and thus will run much faster on large blogs than if it backed up the whole blog every time.

Are you trying to tell me that this is probably a good idea?

Why am I so lazy when it comes to learning computer shit, Sir It?

Why can’t I be more like you?

Ugh.

It isn’t a bad idea.
And if you where more like me you would be a dude with short hair. You would have a boring day job and fight crime by night.
