A week for a day but what about a backup? - TypePad Outage Compensation

TypePad will be crediting all active members with one free week of service to compensate for their recent problems. That’s nice, thank you, but I’d also like to see a way for users to easily backup their entire account content/structure to a local file.

No matter how robust the TypePad system is the ability to archive/control content, which can represent many hours of work, would be a comfort. You can export Posts (XML) & Type lists (OPML). This works well and it’s how I split my old CAD Blog into CAD/Personal earlier this year.

However there is no way to backup the images, files and other content that make up a blog. Come on TypePad, is it that difficult?

PS: I wonder if NZ Retailers will be compensated for the recent EFTPOS system failure
