ljarchive

[seperis]

Okay, those who know: ljarchive off sourceforge. If you have used it, post here? I used it a *long* time ago but haven't since and close friend needs help.

Also, for anyone: it can never hurt to do a backup.

LJbackup

ETA:

For Macs, two programs were mentioned in catrinella's lj here and here.

I see that kheryn42 already commented, but here's more instructions if anyone needed it:

1. Download ljArchive-0.9.7.exe (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=143280&package_id=157384&release_id=403625).
2. Install & run.
3. File > New Archive. Indicate where you want to save it > Next. Type in your login info. If you want to backup a community, after you've type in your login info, check "I want to archive the following community" under Community and it'll listed communities you have access to. Click Next > Finish.
4. ljArchive will then automatically sync your journal and anytime you login with ljArchive. If you want to manually sync it later, go to Tools > Sync.
5. To backup your journal (instead of just saving it as a ljArchive file), go to File > Export and depending on which format you want to backup it in, choose HTML Journal Writer or XML Writer (if you want to import your entries to another blog like WordPress). Indicate where you want to save your backup and how you want to split your entries (by month, date, etc.). Click okay and ljArchive should have your entries saved where you indicated it.

ljArchive also has some other great features if you want to explore it.

Thank you, that is really great! I'll try it out in more detail when I have a little more time, but this is more than enough to get started. :-)
