Check the following 6 ways to Back up your blog posts.

 

1. Blogger itlsef gives you the provision to back your blog posts. After signing into blogger.com, go to settings->Basic and click export blog.

2. Blogger also provides a provision so as to send you the post right into your inbox whenever you update your blog. Go to settings –> Email –> Blogsend Address, enter your emailID, so that when ever you post a new one it will be sent to your emailID.

3. Open an account in wordpress and after logging into it goto Myaccount, you can import the blogspot posts. The only disadvantage is that you can't import the pictures. This can be separtely downloaded and saved.

4. If your blog was deleted accidently you can put a request to blogger besides check the cache by visiting go to google.com and type

cache: BLOG_NAME. BLOGSPOT. COM
If your blog pages are seen then you save.

5. Use a free third party software called Blogger Backup Utility to download all the posts and comments in .xml format.
