Backup your tumblr
I just spent an hour trying to download a copy of my tumblr as a backup. The tricky part is getting the images downloaded too. Here’s what I finally used:
wget --recursive --level=inf --page-requisites \ --convert-links --backup-converted --span-hosts \ --domains=<username>.tumblr.com,media.tumblr.com \ http://<username>.tumblr.com
A nicer implementation would use the API to save the posts in a format that could later be dumped back into a tumblr, but that will have to wait for another time.
