Most of us have backup plans for the data we store at home, but how about the data we store online? If you publish a blog, for example, are you prepared for your blog host to crash and destroy years of work? Thinking about that question is what makes BlogBackupr seem attractive. It’s a free service that runs daily backups of your blog over the internet, and in case of disaster, makes the backed-up data available to you from its own servers.
Here’s the catch, though: in most cases BlogBackupr uses RSS to scrape your blog, but if you use the popular WordPress platform, it actually logs on to grab things that may not be available in RSS. This is an area where I would recommend caution, as signing up a WordPress blog requires putting your WordPress username and password into the system. That’s a security issue that may stop some folks from using BlogBackupr in favor of another solution.
