  Hi guys I need some help.I have previously not had any problems doing a backup of my large blog via the export function.

  That was until the last day or so.I have attempted all content export an many occasions and the page hangs then I get a error window

  Error 6 (net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND): The file or directory could not be found.

  This webpage is not found
  No webpage was found for the web address: https://aussiecriminals.wordpress.com/wp-admin/export.php?download=true&content=all&cat=0&post_author=0&post_start_date=0&post_end_date=0&post_status=0&page_author=0&page_start_date=0&page_end_date=0&page_status=0&submit=Download+Export+File

  I have paid wordpress to use my own domain, and cannot recall the date but say a month or 2 ago, so im not sure if that is creating a problem, as using either address gets anyone to the same place. aussiecriminals.wordpress.com or aussiecriminals.com.au

  I need a backup for peace of mind as the blog has gone a bit haywire of late with commnets and things all getting out of order, and help would be greatly appreciated.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You may have too many comments for the exporter to process your export correctly.

  Are you able to export individual months without issue? If so, I may be able to hook you up with a complete export now, then you can follow-up with each individual month as time goes by.

  Hi macmanx

  Thanks for replying…Yes I can do that. What do I need to do. I have been researching how you guys do a changeover for a fee and was considering that. But I wanted my site saved in case I need to republish it if I lose it…

  Anyway first things first…Lets get this backup done…Thanks for helping me out

  I’m sending you an email with a link to download the export file. Please let me know what it has been downloaded.

  In the future, you can now export each individual month as it goes by without issue.

  Hi Mac, I just downloaded it.Thankyou so much.It was only just over 7mb? I assume that is because it is a zipped file…Would that be right?

  Cheers
