Blog backup reminder

Very shortly after I started to use this blog as a placeholder for knowledge, I wondered how I could back the blog up.

I didnt get any backup going, so I am happy to get a reminder from a march post on Taosecurity:

Therefore, for the last several months I've been archiving my blogs using BlogBackupOnline.com. I used the free service while in beta, but my storage requirements for this blog exceed their 5 MB "Freemium" limits. Therefore, I ponied up the money for a "Professional" account with 250 MB storage, and the "advertising" provided by this post should help me double that amount to 500 MB.

One of the comments on the post is interesting, I have to try that:

.. also check out http://blogbackupr.com, 100MB free space

Now I am thinking if I can find an open source backup application or script that does RSS backup similar to those services? Then I could cron a backup myself.

Blog backup and statistics?

After writing my first blog post I accidently deleted parts of it! What happened was this:

I edited the blogpost, saved and published it, so far so good.

Just after saving it, i got an idea for a minor change, so I went back using the browser, to the editor windows, this was a mistake! I did not notice the text was the old text before i changed it in the first place. So when i published what i thought was a minor change, in fact the first major change was gone!

So after retyped the first major change to my posting, it came to my mind: how do i perform a backup of my blog here at blogger.com?

Also I would like to know if someone actually visits, maybe there is some stats similar to that of AWStats?
