  I tried backing up my current blog to another new account’s blog, but I tried, it cannot import anything. Especially images from my current library. I would like to back up this blog to another account’s blog. Please tell me how to do this.

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

  Are you using the export/import functions to do this?

  If you tried this without reading the support documentation I’d like to ask you to read it and try again please.

  1. Export and import of content (posts, pages, comments, categories, and tags)
  Please see the support entries located here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/
  Tools -> Export

  2. Export and import of Links (blogroll)
  Please see the support entry located here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/blogroll/import-export-links/

  If you still have difficulties then please contact Staff directly using this link. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/

  Yes. I am using the import/export function, although I signed up another new account and could only import the XML file except the media lib. from ‘this’ account.

  Thanks timethief. I will also try the blogroll option to see if it works.
