Ever think of a day when you try to login to Blogger and find your blogger blog gone, corrupted or deleted forever due to any unknown error, that should be one of the worst day in your life. Can you imagine that?
Blogger does not have an export or download function. However, Blogger provided some instructions to create a single file with all your posts which you may publish and then copy to your own computer for use as a backup. See How do I create a backup of my entire blog? However, this will involve replacing your current template with a temporary template, saving, republishing and then putting it back again. I do not like this method.
Another way is using an online blog backup service such as BlogBackupOnline.com. BlogBackupOnline is a cool service that lets you backup your blogs for free (up to 5MB). The great thing about this service is that it takes no technical knowledge to set up your blog backup. You sign up for a free account, provide them the url of your blog and they will take care of the rest.
Now, they are in a mode called Freemium which means they are still free for most starter blogs with less than 5MB of data. But, they are also ready to cater to bloggers who want to back more data as well who require technical support.
Professional account will include:
- 50 MB of storage
- Support for backing up content linked from your blog
- Support for restoring your blog
- Email support
- $4.17 per month ($49.95 per year)
Enterprise account will include:
- 1 GB of storage
- Support for backing up content linked from your blog
- Support for restoring your blog
- Phone support
- $8.30 per month ($99.95 per year)
Try out this free service and you can sleep tight knowing you won’t lose your blog content when the time you wake up. Again, it is always wise to have multiple backup strategies but this will be a good start if you don’t have any at the moment. Make blog back ups a habit and you will never regret.
