Back up Typepad blogs - Content Text and Images

Typepad Help Article It is a good idea to periodically back up your account content, including weblog posts, TypeLists, images and files. While TypePad does have some tools available to help, you may want to take a few extra steps to ensure your backup is complete. Backing Up Your Weblogs TypePad features an Export tool that allows users to download their weblog posts as a plain-text file. This is the most important aspect of backing up your weblogs. You can find more information on this in Exporting Your Weblog Content. Exporting your weblog content does not backup any of the templates associated with your account or files inserted into your posts. There is not a way to backup Basic templates currently, but users with Advanced Templates may want to copy and paste their existing templates into new text files. Files that have been uploaded in weblog posts are available via the File Manager in Control Panel > Files. Click through your weblog's folder and look for the "files" folder. From there, you can right click and "Save target as" on each file's link to download the file to your computer. Backup your blog 1. Log in to your TypePad account. 2. Click on the name of one of your blog accounts (or the only one). You should now be at this location: TypePad home > Your Weblogs > [Blog name]. 3. Above the blog name towards the top of the page, you'll see a row of links. The one you're looking for says "Import/Export."Click on that. 4. Location: TypePad home > Your Weblogs > [Blog name] > Post > Import/Export. 5. Scroll to the very bottom of the page, where you'll see a link called "Export Posts from your TypePad Weblog: [blog name]." 6. In Windows, right click on that link and choose "Save link as..." (Firefox) or "Save target as..." (Internet Explorer). 7. Choose a place on your compouter to save the file. 8. The file downloads, and you're done. A couple of things to note. The default filename the backup has is post.htm. If you get a similar name, you'll need to do at least one thing - change the file extension to .txt as it's not an HTML file, just plain text. Then you'll likely want to give the file a more meaningful name. Lastly, you may want to save copies of the pages themselves as an additional backup. Go to each of the archive pages in your browser and go to File > Save As > Web Page Complete to save copies to your computer. This can include any files in your posts depending on your settings when saving your pages. You may want to try using a third-party extension or tool that can automate this task for you. Here are a few links that can be helpful: * ScrapBook: a Mozilla Firefox extension. * GetLeft: a PC utility. * Site Sucker: a Mac utility. Backing Up Your TypeLists As with posts, you can also export your TypeList content to an OPML file. You are able to export notes from Links, People, Albums and Books TypeLists. The exception in this case is Notes TypeLists. There is not a way to export your items at this time but it may be helpful to copy and paste all notes into a text file for future reference. You can find more information under Exporting TypeList Content. Backing Up Your Photo Albums Currently there is not a way to easily backup your Photo Albums. To work around this, view each page in your browser and from the browser menu go to File > Save As > Web Page Complete to save copies of each page to your computer. The best option right now is to keep copies on your computer of photos you upload so that you can upload them again if need be. Restoring Your Content To restore your posts, you can Import your previously created Export file back into TypePad. You can find more about this in Importing Weblog Content. This option would only import the text of your posts though. You can refer to your previously saved pages to recreate your templates. For TypeLists, you can also import them using your previously created export files. You can find more on this under Importing TypeList Content. Finally, for your Photo Albums, you can upload your images again. A speedier solution may be to upload your photos in a zip file or using uploading tools available for both Windows and OS X. Blurb Blurb is a service that allows you to publish a book that contains your weblog content.
