VaultPress
Handy cloud-based backup for WordPress sites. Although I’d still want to keep your my own backup. I still don’t trust the cloud. (via Daring Fireball)

PhoneView for iPhone - iPhone Disk Mode, SMS, Voicemail, Call History, Music, Photos, Notes Access - Ecamm Network
Among other things, lets you export all of your iPhone SMSes. $20 saved me spending more time messing around with binary plist files, sqlite, etc.

Tweetake
Very simple way to get a file of all your Twitter tweets, friends, etc.
-
Reocities , rising from the ashes - RIP Geocities…

I suppose backing one bit of the cloud up to another unaccountable, third-party bit of it is better than nothing, but…

Online Backup from Backblaze
After reading poor reviews of Mozy.com on Cool Tools, I’m giving Backblaze, which got better reviews, a try. (Warning, annoying auto-play video.)

MailSteward
A pay-for Mac app that archives email into SQLite or MySQL databases. Looks pretty awesome for searchable backups. Need the pro version for large volumes of email (>100,000 messages).

Jacobian’s jellyroll at master - GitHub
“You keep personal data in all sorts of places on the internets. Jellyroll brings them together onto your own site.” Sounds good, but haven’t tried it. (via Blech)
-
Flashbake: Free version-control for writers using git - Boing Boing
Sounds nice and some lovely little features like saving info about the weather, etc when it automatically checks your files in. Contextual backup.

Husk.org. chaff. Aggregation and the Edge.
“Is there a space for a piece of user-installable software, like Movable Type or Wordpress, that aggregates their data from sites across the web, and then presents it as a site?” Yes. Maybe even a WordPress plugin…?

On backing up his Magnolia links and wondering how to back up the rest of his distributed online life. (via Blech)

Mathusalem - Google Code
Interesting-sounding backup utility for Mac OS X. Backs up in the background to “local drives, iDisk, WebDAV, AFP, SMB, FTP, SFTP or Amazon S3”. Maybe for when StrongSpace finally disappears. (via Tom Taylor on Twitter)
-
LifeStreamBackup.com
Launching soon, a backup for Flickr and weblogs. Google Docs, Twitter, YouTube and Facebook backup promised. As I said earlier, all these sites should offer this service by default. (via Blech)
-
Google Open Source Blog: Google Blog Converters 1.0 Released
Excellent - scripts to convert between Blogger, LiveJournal, MovableType and WordPress. I reckon every single online service should have an “Export” button and nag you if you haven’t backed-up in a while. (via Tom Taylor)
