Okay, so hereâs how to do this.
First off, go here and make sure you have Python installed. For Windows it should be the very bottom link, the x86 MSI Installer. You donât have to do anything but install it.
Second, go here, and click âClone or Downloadâ (the green button on the right). Select âDownload ZIPâ.
Make sure you have WinRAR or 7zip or something installed that lets you extract zip files.
Next, make a folder on your desktop. I named mine âTumblr Backupâ, and in the following instructions Iâm going to assume thatâs what youâve named yours as well; replace âTumblr Backupâ with whatever you name yours if it isnât.
Drop the zip file you downloaded into Tumblr Backup. Go in and extract it; this should create a folder called âtumblr-utils-masterâ.
Open your Command Prompt. If you donât know how to find that, click your start menu button and type âCMDâ, which should give you this:
That frog over there is blotting out my profile name on my computer. Whatever your profile name is when you sign in (e.g. âMaxâ or âSnugglebunsâ or âfroglord69â) is going to be in that spot on the address path. If it instead says something about Windows and System 32, thatâs okay, what Iâm gonna tell you to do will go to the right place either way.
Next, input this commandâkeeping in mind that the parts in bold should be changed based on your profile name and what you named the folder on your desktop:
CD C:\Users\froglord69\Desktop\Tumblr Backup\tumblr-utils-master
There! Now youâre in the right folder! Next, enter this command, replacing the bolded bit with your own blog name:
tumblr_backup.py yourblogname
Then justâŚlet it run! It took less than five minutes for my computer, though it will vary by processor and connection. Once itâs done, youâll have something like this:
That âindexâ opens in an internet browser. Itâs basically a webpage stored directly on your computer. Some pics of mine:
SoâŚnot pretty, but itâll save the content of your posts. Hope this helps!
