Made of fail

Some of you who have been panicking over LJ shutting down have been looking for alternatives. I suggest LJ Archive--saves the format all right, you can resync the same archive and thus don't need several copies to cover the months missed by the last backup.

The other best option that I've explored would have been LJ Book. I say would have because after having the FAQ, I have determined that there is no way in hell anyone is getting a book out of them any time soon--regardless of whether they sucker you into paying them not to do jack shit for you. Because they only allow 2-3 books to be made per hour. That is just not a feasible solution when literally thousands of people (to say nothing of communities) are probably rushing about trying to figure out how to save their journals.

Any other solutions people have found, please do share, and best of luck to you.

That's pretty brilliant. It sounds similar to a function that the Safari browser I have at work offers--you can view anything to be printed as a PDF before printing it. I will have to download it. Because, like you, I like LJ Archive, but the format is not eminently readable and I'd like the option of backing it up and un-installing LJ Archive if I so chose.
