A .Text question...

I have a little question about .Text, a little problem that I'd like to solve...

Is it possible to do a Blog backup and tranfer in some way?

Explanation (I hope it coulkd be more clear): If I have a blog (based on .Text engine) hosted on (for example) weblogs.asp.net and I want to trasfer the entire contents of it an other my blog on (for example) www.dotnetjunkies.com/weblog, how can I do it?

Is there a way to perform this task? Any ideas?

There is a way but you'll need access to the server to do it...and write a little custom tool...

I remember reading that someone transfered to or from .Text using just the RSS feed to pull the data down and blog posting service to re-post them all. Not sure how lossy that would be.

Interesting... I'd like to know a way to do that. The problems of transferring obviously occours when I'm not the Server administrator (where .Text phisically resides) but only the Blog Administrator. Maybe, connecting to .Text database where my blog is stored (exactly as tools like BlogJet are doing) and doing a SELECT * from the blog tables from the SOURCE Blog and store the data read into the tables on the DESTINATION Blog?
