  Since Friday when I’ve tried to back up my blog, by using the Export tool to save as XML file, I get an error message stating that there is a problem with this feature and that it should be back up and working soon.

  Which blog are you trying to export?

  http://cifwatch.com/ I’m the managing editor and am trying to create a ghost site to test a new WP theme. (Plus I typically back up the site once a month)

  Since you have over 2,000 posts with over 61,000 comments, you’ll need to break up the export. You can use the additional export options to only export specific date ranges.

  Thanks so much for the reply. I had no idea that was the problem.
