  Go to Tools -> Export in your WordPress.com dashboard to download an XML file of your blog’s content. This format, which we call WordPress eXtended RSS or WXR, will contain your posts, pages, comments, categories, and tags.

  Thank you. I completed that process but I don’t know if it worked. It saved immediately and left me with a very brief file (maybe 10 lines of information). Do I have to do something with it? It never took me to the screen that asks me to setup the backup daily, weekly, etc.

  I have no confidence I’ve backed the site up.
