The other thing that irks me about the Tumblr backup app is that is is just that, a “backup” and not a way to export your blog in any way that another blogging platform would be able to import it. It still doesn’t solve the problem of what is practically a data lock in. Sure, I can go through every file and copy and paste into another blogging platform, but with anything more than a trivial number of posts, the time this would take become prohibitive, and given the ease of publishing on Tumblr, it is likely that most people will have more than a trivial number of posts.
