Re: backup/archive
LJArchive speaks to DW just fine. But as far as I can tell there's no way to modify its timeout limit. A friend of mine, [personal profile] pseudomonas, wrote a script that would go through LJ posts and replace each one with a link to the imported post on DW. So I imported my entire LJ in order to test it, and this had two unfortunate effects, firstly that I couldn't get Pseudomonas' script to compile at all, even in an apparently identical environment. And secondly doing this made my DW journal too big for the program to cope with; it times out at 30 minutes and there doesn't seem to be any way to get it to do a smaller range at a time.

I'll see if I can get the Python script you mention to work, cos I feel uncomfortable with half a year of DW only existing in the cloud!
