I backup everything. I have copies of pretty much everything from my computer on one other computer (sometimes two) and on an external USB hard drive. I have always made backups. But I don't have my own copies of my blog entries. That point hit me today when I found out that weblogs.com shut off all the free blogs they had. They are continuing with the paid blogs.
Now I don't expect theSpoke to go anywhere. And I know the people who run the hosting site and expect they are doing good backups. But one never knows. Plus it recently occurred to me that it would be nice to have a way to search through old blogs offline.
So I want to backup my blog. I am thinking of visiting each day's entry and copying it to OneNote. This will give me a good organization as well as easy search. I wish I could think of a way to do a backup automatically though. Going forward anything will be easy once I am in the habit. It's getting started that is a problem.
So do you backup your blog? Why or why not? And if you do, how do you do it?
