There are several ways of doing this, including saving your posts as a *.doc/Word file, or turning your blog into a book. (HT: Mary at The Vocation of Motherhood)
Your blogging host also should have instructions in their FAQ or Help file that will enable you to do this (almost) painlessly. Some of the most popular ones:
- Basic Typepad instructions for making backups, from Neville Hobson.
- If you've got a blog at Wordpress.com, follow Lorelle's instructions.
- For the Blogger blogger, here's how.
- For wordpress (not wordpress.com) users, you need to go into cPanel/
phpMyadmin and backup the database from there. Detailed instructions can be found here.

Thanks for the info! When I switched over to the new Blogger a while back, Blogger lost my blog. It took a couple of weeks of complaining and posting on the Blogger Help bulletin board for them to pay attention and locate my beloved journal.
You'd think I'd have learned my lesson, but to this day I still don't back up my blog. I really should start doing so.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that others people wont feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. As we let our own light shine. We unconsciously give other permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear; our present automatically liberated others.
Good job… keep enlightened me with your Blog!
Wow, this is so helpful. I just linked to it!
hi! originally found you looking for a scrolling blogroll hack (found it, thanks!!) and decided to see what else you'd written about :)
There's a free backup service at blogbackuponline.com that might also be useful. It provides 5 MB space free, & doubles that if you blog about their service. Should anything happen to your blog, though, you can upgrade to a paying account and they can help with recovery. I've only used their beta version, haven't revisited them since they went live for real though.
