  re: wordpress.COM backups

  You can use the Export tool to backup all of your content or move your content to a new WordPress site. https://en.support.wordpress.com/export/

  Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner. It is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and a single associated email address, and who is the original Admin of the blogs registered under that username account.

  You have to be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard and navigate to Tools.

  Dashboard > Tools > Export

  http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/tools.php?page=export-choices

  *You will have to replace NAME_OF_BLOG with the actual name of your blog in that URL.

  Note: Export files are duplicates of the originals.

  P.S. Note how I said “content” above. Themes cannot be exported and widget content cannot be exported either.
