How to back up a Blogger blog

Backing up your blog contents is very very important. Why? Because your Blogger/blogspot blog can be running smoothly today and yet it also can all of a sudden disappear, without warning. It happened before and will happen again in the future. Playing by the rules doesn’t make you immune either because mistakes do happen.

So be prepared, and if you haven’t yet backed up your blog, then do it now.


Using blog feeds
First of all you need to ensure the feed contains complete post contents (including images). Go to Dashboard > Settings > Other > Site Feed, and select FULL in the "Allow Blog Feed" dropdown menu.
Posts

Go to this URL and save page as "Webpage, Complete" in your PC: view sourceprint?

http://YOURBLOGNAME.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?max-results=500

Comments

Go to this URL and save page as "Webpage, Complete" in your PC: view sourceprint?

http://YOURBLOGNAME.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default?max-results=200

A posts feed retrieves only up to 500 posts and a comments feed up to 200 comments. If your blog has more posts or comments, you need to get more than one feed. Add a start-index query in the URL to specify the starting point of each subsequent feeds, like this: view sourceprint?

http://YOURBLOGNAME.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?start-index=501&max-results=500
The same applies to comments feed.


If you redirect your blog feed, then append &redirect=false at the end of the URL.

Using export feature Posts and comments

Take Blogger blog images backup

Blogger dashboard or admin do not have specific options for images backup. So, for image backup, you can try any of the following practices.

Manage your blog images in your local system. It means, when you upload a new image on your blog, also add one copy of that image in your local backup folder.

Download blogger images from Google Takeout. From Google Takeout, you can download your all Blogger blogs data from the “Blogger” option or download selected blog’s photo album from “Google Photos” option.7. Backup Blogger theme’s gadgets content

Blogger theme backup does not include some gadgets in the backup file. So, for that case the following practice helps to take gadgets (widget) backup.

Create a txt file in your system backup folder. Go to the Blogger dashboard and open the “Layout” setting page. Now, open each gadget one by one and copy its title and content in txt file. That’s it.

You can use this file when restoring your blog using backup. At that time, you can add missing gadgets and its content from this txt file.
