Back up Your Blogger|Blogspot Blogs on Hard Drive
>> Dec 13, 2008
Blogger is a free blogging service provided by Google via Blogger.com. Recently Blogger team released this new Import/Export feature which also allows its users to make a back up copy of their entire blog on their hard drives. This feature is accessible via Settings> Basic> Blog Tools> Export blog.
When you use the export feature to download your blog to your computer, the blog is downloaded in a (.xml) file. This does not removes your blog from Blogger.com and your blog and all its posts remain live and online.
Why Should I Back Up My Blog ?
- Blog gets deleted : You or someone else accidentally deleted your blog and now all your blog posts are gone and you have to write them again which might take a lot of effort if you have an old blog.
- You want to recover deleted posts : In the past you deleted some of your blog posts that you thought were of no use at that time but now you require to recover that post.
- Just back up : Just to be on the safe side I recommend that you make backup copies of your blog(s) on routine basis. If you post on regular basis then weekly backups might as well be a nice option but if you do not post that often then you can plan to make a backup copy of your blog at least once each month.
