How to Backup Typepad Sites

OPENRSM CloudBackup for Windows

We get questions from bloggers all the time… One of the most persistant ones is “How do I back up the content on Squidoo?”.  So being the web heads we are, we checked out some documentation about a terrific plugin for Firefox titled ScrapBook.  We read, downloaded, installed, and used it hard. And suprise!? This works for every Web 2.0 we could find!

ScrapBook is a good way to keep all that information you have on any number of sites safe with a local copy that your web backup can automatically archive for you. With one program! No installing plugins, jockeying around on the command line… It just saves it so you can recover if they go bad on you.

How you ask? Follow along and do it the easy way.

A First, go to the ScrapBook download page (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/427). Click the Install Now button (green) and restart Firefox when instructed.

B Once Firefox has restarted, you’re ready to use ScrapBook.

C Click onto one of your social websites you’d like to save with ScrapBook. When your there, click “Capture Page As” on the menu.

D Now, with “Capture Page As”, you can pick the depth of links you’d like to save. This is a important! This is how all the links on your page get automatically backed up. With the depth set to zero, you wouldn’t automatically archive those extra pages. If it was set to 1, you’d be able to. However, if it was set to 2, you’d be able to click links on the second page and so on.

E After picking the options you want, click Capture. Your computer now has a copy! Now, go to the ScrapBook menu and click Show in Sidebar. You can now see the captured page list.

So, what do we have so far? You now have a local copy of all the content on your FaceBook, etc. page. So if anything goes south, your covered. But like Billy Mays always says… “But Not only this, we have more”.

If you have a online backup product like CloudBackup on your computer just make sure that it’s configuration has your personal files selected for backup. This way all your computers essential files are backed up and your social website content is too. And Firefox runs on windows, Mac, and Linux all the same.  Not only will your computer have a full internet backup, but your social websites will be too.
