Import, export and backup of entries, comments and photos

Friday Aug 07, 2009

A few new features are now available for all blogs at Pixy. Bloggers can now make backups of their photos, uploads, entries & comments using our new export feature. This combined with our existing import feature gives bloggers a standard way to move their data around the many different blogging platforms out there.

Using the Moveable Type Import Format bloggers can make a backup of their entries & comments to a text file which can be easily imported to a number of blogging platforms including MoveableType, Wordpress and Blogger. Also available through our export feature is the backing-up of photos, uploads and watermarks. These files can now all be downloaded as Zip files. These features are all available through the admin area; 'Blog > Import' and 'Blog > Export' pages.

It's now possible to make backups of almost all the content in your blog. Next-up will be the ability to back-up & restore blog themes.

Thank you so much for this feature Richard. Not that I plan on leaving Pixy any time soon, but it is nice to have the security to be able to back up my material. Now if I could only get my data out of my previous place life would be perfect.

Someone just asked me the other day if I was able to export my blog information to save and make into a photo book. While I have all the photos backed up I didn't have any of the text archived so this feature will be very helpful.

Thanks Pixy team!

@laanba: I don't know where was your previous place, but in case it was OneReaction Photoblog software, I have written a couple posts on my blog that can help migrate to Pixyblog.
