oh look an original post

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.

Looks like it worked! Here is my Dreamwidth post with more info.
