Backup tools?

[sophiaserpentia]

If I'm stuck here, I might as well learn how to minimize loss of existing and future entries. Several of you recommended backup tools, in comments to an entry that is now gone. Could you please repeat those recommendations?

So far, the "LJ Backup Tool," "LJ Book," and "ALJ" have been recommended, but I would like to hear about additional options if they exist.

When I DLed and installed the LJ Backup Toolkit, it didn't work, I got an "application failed to properly initialize" error (or some BS like that) so I can't comment on that tool

As for the LJ Book -- I'm not particularly interested in having all of my entries (1000+ of them) glommed into one monster PDF file that will probably be too large for my computer to open.

ALJ I haven't tried yet (as I got too frustrated last night to work with it), but it sounds very time-intensive. That would be fine, if it saves my entries.

I was doing that too, but I'm not always at the same computer, so that is not the most practical backup method for me. I need a central place like this, on an internet server.

Besides, many of my entries have links and/or interactive stuff, which doesn't quite translate to .txt; and I won't save comments that way unless I go back and update the .txt.

Still, it will do in a pinch. ::Contemplates thousands of entries and 10,000's of comments to back up::

Have you heard of Furl? Saves entire web pages for you on their server, which you can make publicly or privately viewable.

No, I hadn't heard of that. Thanks! I'm getting really desperate at this point. Nothing I am trying is working.
