Backing up your blog

One would think that the information in your blog here would be backed up by the people who run the site. Maybe they do, maybe they don't. But if I were a betting man, I would not rely on other people to take care of my data. I am not saying that the good people who run this blog site do not care about my data. I am saying that they still may lose the data if they do care and back it up. I have been in the tech support business long enough to know that no matter what people tell me that they take care of my data, I will back it up myself thank you very much because per chance that they lose my data, no matter who is at fault, the data is still gone. With that said, there are tools and ways to back up the blog posts here. You can either save it like a book or mirror it locally on your computer.

Here is the blog page that shows you how to do it.

The two programs you can use are HTTrack Website Copier and Blog Collector.
