In this post, I will show you how to fully backup your blogger blog from your layout, widgets to your posts and comments.

Step 1



Go to your dashboard and click on layout and then click on "Edit HTML".

Step 2



Make sure to check the "Expand Widgets" check box.

Step 3



Click on the text box, then press CTRL+A to select all of its contents. Then right click and press on copy.

Step 4



Open your notepad and paste the code by pressing CTRL+V.

Step 5



Press "Save as"

Step 6



Always consider to write the filename properly for you to easily find your backups. You could adopt my way by typing first "Full Layout" then the date which is MM-DD-YY. The date is necessary for you to easily recognize it. Then at the end make sure to add .xml to save it properly.

Step 7



Go to your desktop, right click on a blank area. Then hover your mouse on "New" and click on "Compressed (zip) Folder". Name it "Backup" and then next to it type in the date.

Step 8



Now we proceed to backing up your posts and comments. Go to "Settings".

Step 9



Click on "Export blog"

Step 10



Click on "Download Blog"

Step 11



Click on "Save File" and click on "Ok"

Step 12



Drag the two backup files into the compressed folder that you have made.

Step 13

The two files has now been stored into your compressed folder. Make sure to keep the file somewhere.
