Blogging tools – 2

29 02 2008

I started with ‘blogging tools – 1‘ and now it’s time for part 2.

When you blog and blog frequently at that sometimes you worry about everything getting lost… To remedy that we recommend you to two of the best blog backup services…

Blogbackuponline – BlogBackupOnline offers an easy way to create full blog backup, schedule and store backups online, and restore/export blog from a backup file.

  • Securely store and backup your blog data online (SSL 128 Secure site…)
  • Schedule automatic backups (daily, weekly, monthly) and backup reports
  • Export: Download and Save backups to your PC
  • Restore Backup: quickly restore or transfer your blog to another location
  • Supported blogging platforms: Blogger, WordPress, TypePad, Friendster, LiveJournal, Serendipity, Windows Live Space, Movable Type, Terapad, and Vox
  • Receive up to 50 MB of free backup space (this is more than enough for almost all of you…)
  • Backup blog images (JPEG, GIF, PNG, TIFF, BMP)

[Update: BlogBackupOnline is out of beta and are now offering full range of service. The good news is that they will still have a free account, they call it ‘freemium‘ apart from this they offer professional and enterprise accounts. The freemium offer includes 5MB of space this means for you that subscribers using less than 5 MB of storage space will be upgraded to the newest version automatically. Those users using more than 5MB of storage space will have an extended period of time (6 weeks) to continue to use the service while having the opportunity to decide if they would like to upgrade to a Professional or Enterprise account. After 6 weeks, they will continue to store your backups for one year, however new backups will not run. Techrigy will provide you with a guideline for exporting everything in your account and will continue to provide access to the backed up content.]
Blogbackupr is a web-based backup service for blogs. It takes less then a minute to setup and can automatically backup all blog articles and comments on a daily basis. It also comes with one-click restore functionality. The only problem, it requires your blog login details. And while this may not be a big issue for small personal blogs, for bigger blogs it definitely is an area of concern.
