Backing up del.icio.us

I like using del.icio.us. You too? Want to backup your entries?

$ curl --user username:password -o myDelicious.xml \
  -O 'http://del.icio.us/api/posts/recent?count=10000'

Found on rentzsch.com.

If you don’t have curl use the wget solution of blog.var.cc:

$ wget --http-user=delicious-user --http-passwd=delicious-pass \
  -O delicious-bkp.xml http://del.icio.us/api/posts/recent?count=10000

And another option is to bookmark http://del.icio.us/api/posts/recent?count=10000.

Mac OSX users can use a delicious-client, I’d like to have such a software for Linux. ;-)
