Backing up LJ

Anyone have any suggestions on the best program to archive/backup my LJ entries? I tried LJArchive a couple of months ago, kept getting errors, and gave up on it. Any LJArchive tips or other programs of choice?

Worst case scenario, I'm just going to print out entries of strong interest and keep them in my memorabilia file cabinet at home.

I've never had LJArchive not work for me, and have been using it for a couple of years.

Of course, when I created my index, I cut and pasted my posts one by one and put them in files. It's a little quicker than you think once you get the rhythm down. About once a month or so, I update it, which doesn't take long since there are only 20 posts or so to cut and paste. You lose the tags and stuff when you do that, though, but I mainly wanted to be able to search on words.

Thanks!!!

That worked out great. For what I want, that was spot-on. Thanks!
