With most platforms that is a valid concern, but with Tumblr you can easily create a local backup your entire blog (http://staff.tumblr.com/post/286303145/tumblr-backup-mac-beta http://staff.tumblr.com/post/286303145/tumblr-backup-mac-bet...) as basic HTML, images, assets, theme, etc.
With that said, Tumblr has a very bright future ahead of them.
- pavel_lishin 15y agoSure, but then you're stuck setting up again elsewhere - so why not do it from the start? Answer to rhetorical question: because we can't be bothered, so we'd rather just pick a provider who is more likely to stick around than not.
- spinchange 15y agoThat's a totally reasonable consideration but the revenue model of the host platform isn't always the best indicator of its success or longevity. LiveJournal & Six Apart have longstanding revenue models but aren't hosting users like the President of the United States or large corporate media entities.
- pavel_lishin 15y agoSure, but they're still around. Or are you implying that the President and Corporation, Inc. would bail Tumblr out to keep their blog up?
- wmf 15y agoBTW, that backup app is even less reliable than the rest of Tumblr. I did manage to get a full backup... once.
