Thanks for your response! I’ve done the httrack method and has worked flawlessly The main purpose is to have a copy of my posts off line just to be safe, so I’m happy with it. On the other hand, it would be great to have a copy on a local server and do experiments with it, so I’ll follow your suggestion and visit the forum.
Thanx again!

@ DaniFP:

Try it again. Manage > Export and follow the instructions. It works, it may just take a while. If it doesn’t work, get help on the WordPress.com Support Forum. The HTTrack method is okay for full website copying, it does not work for importing/exporting blog migration.

It doesn’t work for me

The process of exporting an XML and importing it in a local server only copies a few files of the “drafts” section, but not the blog at all.

I’ll try the HTTrack method instead, I suppose it’ll be OK.

Great article,

another option that i use is to backup from your hosting account. It’s a good practice to have your own scheduled backup from all the infos residing on your webpages.

Some hosting do it automtically, but it’s better to control the process at least one a week. So a weekly backup will save you from a lot of trouble.

I don’t know anything about that version or the Mac. I recommend you export your blog through the built in Export feature that is now in current versions of WordPress. It exports it as an XML form. Or use the WordPress Database Backup Plugin to backup your database files. WordPress.com comes with the XML export now.

I disagree with your assertion that HTTrack is easy to use. The UI is unnecessarily complicated, and the manual is full of technical jargon. I recommend you try SuperBot (see link in my name), which will not only backup your site with ONE click, but also help you burn it onto CD/DVD.
