brin-bellway asked: Do you know of any good ways to backup a DW blog? So far, I have investigated: built-in exporter (doesn’t include comments); wget (doesn’t include access-locked posts); LJMigrate (gives an HTTP 307 error, which I have no idea how to deal with); most other tools on the list of DW-compatible LJ archivers (aren’t available at all anymore); printing every post to PDF and re-printing the relevant post with every new comment (severe, ongoing tedium).

I’m an oldie who used to use Semagic but I haven’t done a backup in a while and I believe Semagic doesn’t work anymore. Let me pitch this to the crowd.

I talked to my dad last night, and he said that in theory I should be able to feed wget my Dreamwidth login cookies to give it the ability to scrape locked posts. Will try it later today and report back.
