@bennesvig - that price is for a one time backup of your blog. Daily/Weekly backups coming later.

Thanks for the comments on our Tumblr Backup. Right now we're focusing on one-time backup but will quickly be offering daily/weekly backups not much later.

Yes - we can do this yourself. There's people that feel comfortable doing that but there's many more that don't.

As for Tumblr providing a backup solution, yes they have but it (1) doesn't usually work, (2) only works on a Mac, and (3) still in beta, (4) hasn't been updated since 2009, etc...

@mootothemax - we'll work on providing more details on the site here soon. Thanks for asking for that.

@ZackOfAllTrades - like the idea of providing an automatic site up if/when Tumblr goes down.

this is pretty close to how I use it as well. It's a great way to keep up with a lot of stuff and dive deeper into the things that look interesting.
