Backup Backup!!

Just 2 days back, I tried accessing two blogs (Di’s – peepssheep _ blogspot _ com and Katya’s – katyacoldheart _ blogspot _ com) that I used to frequently visit when I entered blogging, I was surprised to see that they were hacked by some punk. Whole blog was deleted and URL was used to sell his shitty products.

That’s when the thought of taking backup came in my mind and I had to Google for some information. I would like to share that with ma blogger pals from this post.

Its all the hard work that we put up in creating a blog, which I don’t think anyone, will enjoy getting erased by someone “just for fun”. Requesting you all to kindly take precautionary measures about the same.

Backup Method I:
If you have patience and can play around with Template file, please go ahead and give “Blogger: How do I create a backup of my entire blog?” a try. It tells about a method, which requests you to make certain changes in the template file and take backup of your posts. After that you need to revert back to the original template file.

I need to try this out, maybe during the coming weekend, right now loads of work on ma head already.

Backup Method II:
Download HTTrack Website Copier. HTTrack is a free software that lets you download a website or a weblog straight into your computer. It will automatically build directories and obtain HTML, images and other files from the server in to your computer, creating a "mirror" site locally. This will make sure that you have an offsite copy of your blog all the time along with the comments, in case you need to upload them all if you fall pray for some hacker.

For guys who are making posts from café or office shared computer, might be interested in knowing more about how to prevent themselves from getting hacked. Kindly read my post “OMG, I got hacked” to know more on how you need to punch in your passwords safely.

If anyone knows any other method, please share it with me.


(Z000nie’s bizarre post, “I don’t wear socks” is coming today evening, thought of making this quick post to share ma knowledge with all you beautiful people. Greetz to everyone!!)
