Back up your blog with BlogBackupOnline
BlogBackupOnline is a new startup designed to take the pain out of backing up your WordPress, Blogger, LiveJournal, Drupal, or Moveable Type blog (just to name a few).The service scans your URL for data and automatically creates a backup of your blog. The initial backup process can take some time if you have a large blog. Backup of a blog with 1500 posts, for example, could take up to 2 hours. But from then on, BlogBackupOnline will perform a daily backup on any new posts.
Since the service works with multiple blogging clients, you can also use it to backup a blog on one platform and restore it to another. In other words, this could be an excellent tool for migrating from Blogger to WordPress.
BlogBackupOnline is in beta, and right now and missing a few important features, like the ability to backup photos and videos. But it looks like those features are both on their way.
Beta accounts are free, and come with 50MB of storage space, but according to the service's help page, if you run out of space, all you have to do is send an email and your space will be increased.
As for whether the service will remain free, we're gonna guess the answer is no. Most sites don't make a point of writing "While in beta, BlogBackupOnline is totally free" unless that could change one day.
