Help with backing up my Tumblr blog

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello, I am trying to backup my Tumblr blog and sub blogs and I have been waiting for almost 24 hours to back up my main one which has over 60,000 posts. I know it’s a lot and that it’ll take a while, however it is saying that not even one post has been backed up in the 24 hour time span I’ve waited. Is it actually backing up my posts and not counting them, or is it just not backing them up because I have too many posts?

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

  • Hi there,

    I’ve double checked to confirm your import is indeed still queued and it’s going to start soon. It didn’t cancel. But please do reconnect to your Tumblr account if you’ve disconnected it. And please be patient and keep your connection from Tumblr. Do not try to cancel your import.

    We’re processing quite a few imports from Tumblr at the moment, which is causing a backlog of imports in our system. While it may look like your import failed, it’s just in line for processing, and luckily it’s still in the queue.

    At this point we’re unable to give an estimate on how long it might take to catch up with the backlog, though – it’s taking longer than anticipated, but the importer is running and will hopefully get to your site soon.

    Please take a look at this thread if you haven’t already: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/tumblr-imports/

    Thank you for your patience.
