While browsing the net I came across this article which talks about this BlogBackupOnline service which automatically backups your blog posts sans the images and video and stores them in your account so that you can use it if you lose your blog data somehow.

This service is a boon for lazy users like me who donot like to take regular backups..

Here is a quote from the article which describes the utility of this service perfectly.

Registering your blog (or anyone else’s for that matter) is easy, just give it the URL, and if the site is on a popular blogging platform like Blogger, TypePad, or WordPress, it will start backing up posts right away. You don’t actually need to give it your login or password to get things going, BlogBackupOnline will simply go through and scrape posts. Once blogs have been registered with the service, backup is automated, so you don’t have to worry about it.

Users get 50MB of storage, which might not sound like a lot, but keep in mind the tool is only grabbing text and HTML formatting code, not pictures, videos, or any other related files. If you do run out of space, (for now) the service is offering users extra room for people who hit the storage ceiling.

All posts are stored in a reader that lets you see a quick preview of what they look like, along with the option to send single or multiple posts back to your blog in the event your data is lost or corrupted. BlogBackupOnline also grabs user comments, so if there’s a particularly interesting discussion thread, you can recover that too.

So now no more hasseles when you lose your blog data if you had been using this service
