MT blog backup with the TypeMover plugin

Over at Learning Movable Type, Elise has posted a summary of methods for backing up your blog. One of the top suggestions (and a good reason to back up to MT 3) is the availability of the TypeMover plugin which backs up not only content, but also all comments, trackbacks, pings, weblog settings, templates, email notifications, IP bans, categories and authors!! Sounds pretty great to me, and I’m surprised it was not a winner in the MT 3.0 plugin contest, although I don’t know if it was entered. By the way, some interesting plugins have come out of the contest for MT 3, including a new version of MTBlackList – take that, you dastardly comment spammers!!!
