Backups

Finally, after various software gymnastics, I was able to back up my LJ account and the now-defunct fact2fiction community. I opted for using ljArchive on my windows laptop rather than try to get something to work on the Mac. The software uses Microsoft .NET so it is unportable to non-microsoft systems. Also, the version on SourceForge doesn't appear to work, but someone on the ljArchive community fixed the problem and is hosting the working version of the software. All-in-all, the software appears to work pretty well, and has a synch function to allow me to update the archive periodically.

The version on SourceForge worked for me, and I run Windows NT 2000, on which I can find lots of things that DON'T work. That's interesting.

I've had good luck with things from Sourceforge generally. It may have to do with the particular build of .NET and whether a service pack has been installed. The latest .NET is 3.5 so you may have been running a newer version than mine (1.1 at the office, 2.0 on the laptop).
