Hi Jack – thanks for your comment. I think even if you are hosted by Blogger, you should still make the effort to backup your content.

I am sure there is a clause in your agreement with Google that says they are not responsible for any loss of data.

Why take the chance when it only takes a few minutes to back up compared to the weeks/months/years it would take to replace all the lost content?

nice post tough.
thanks, but since my blog hosted on blogger.com, i never think about to backing up my blog.

just let them do it for us. blogger.com since it belongs to google, should be trustable right? how do you think?

Hey Shane – thanks for your comment. I am impressed by the number of people backing up their files daily. Do you also have other contingency plans in place like those I mentioned in this article?

So many people think that if they back up their files they are safe. Not true!

A backup plan is so important … especially for continuity. I back up everything regularly. Twice!
