How to Backup Blogger Blog

LOADING ... You have spent a lot of time and effort to keep your blog running. Your ideas, your stories, and your thoughts are priceless. Wouldn't it be a disaster if one day all your blog entries are gone due to a hack attack or hardware failure? So, backup all your blogs regularly before it is too late.

If you are using Blogger to store your blogs, the following are a few simple ways to back up your Blogger blog ...


Backup Your Posts

• Backup All Posts
  This link will show all of your posts in one page:
  

  http://blogname.blogspot.com/search?max-results=1000

  
  Don't forget to change the URL "blogname.blogspot.com" to the actual URL of your blog. You can also change the maximum result if you have more than 1000 posts. If you have a lot of posts, it may take a while to show the page.
  
• Backup Monthly Posts
  You can add archive page element to your blog, at Template > Add page element > Blog Archive. You can set the archive frequency to monthly/weekly/daily depending on how often you update your blog. At the page element, you can view a group of posts by clicking the archive link, such as 2007, or August. I recommend you backup monthly, by selecting the link for the previous month so that your backup covers all posts made during the previous month. However, you are free to choose other backup frequency as you please, such as daily, weekly, or even annually.
  

Backup Template
This one is quite simple. You just need to go to Template > Edit HTML, and then click "Download Full Template". I recommend to backup your template before you make any changes to your template, so you always have a backup version in case you mess up your template.


Backup Comments

• Backup All Comments
  Use the following link to get all the comments:
  

  http://blogname.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default?max-results=1000

  
  Don't forget to change the URL "blogname.blogspot.com" to the actual URL of your blog. You can also change the maximum result if you have more than 1000 comments. After you submitted the link, you may be asked to download the file (at least on Internet Explorer), so just give the file name with XML extension (such as comments.xml). This file will contain all of the comments submitted by your visitors.
  
• Backup Single Comment by E-mail
  You can set Blogger to send you an e-mail when someone leaves a comment on your blog. This option is available at Setting > Comments > Comment Notification Address. You can collect these e-mails as backup.
