A few URLs to tools for archiving your LiveJournal.

[randomness]

This seemed like a useful time to start collecting these. I haven't tried any of them, but if you have any experience with them please comment.
Also, if you have any other links to add, please comment. If there's lots of interest, I'll put up a permanent page and post a link.

Did I miss something? Are they cutting off livejournal backentries at a certain point?

No, LJ just got sold. In the ensuing discussion, various people mentioned they wanted to back up their LJ's, which reminded me I'd been looking for LJ backup software, so I figured I'd collect some URLs and post.

is this a guide for people who might flee due to the recent sale of LJ?

While I started collecting archive tools just after the sale of LJ, I'd been looking around for some time before. The sale just reminded me that it's always useful to back up your data. Also, the sale seems to have sparked the development of a couple of new tools.
