It’s easy enough to backup the text content of a Wordpress.com blog using Manage > Export to download it in XML format – this can easily be imported into any recent version of Wordpress. But if you want to backup all the images you’ve uploaded to Wordpress.com without downloading them one by one, download and install the excellent Firefox extension
DownThemAll, then go to your Wordpress blog’s Manage > Media Library page and set DownThemAll to download all your image links on the page.

March 23, 2009This is a pretty cool idea! I never thought about my images being left out of the back up. I assumed it was all together but it looks like I was wrong.
I wonder why word press would only back up the content and not the uploaded images…
Anyways this is good to know!
Thanks for sharing the plugin. Right now I only use one and it’s FireBig.

DownThemAll only gives you the cropped images on wordpress.com. Any ideas on how to get the full image?
Thanks!

February 18, 2010@ Travis, if you look at the DownThemAll settings, you can get it to download all linked images.
