More del.icio.us backups
I'd already written about how your del.icio.us bookmarks could be backed up, but after the total blackout at the del.icio.us site a few days ago, I decided to do this more carefully.
First of all, the one-liner presented in the first installment, doesn't back up all the bookmarks. The del.icio.us API forsees logging in with your username and password for that. Use an invocation such as
curl -sf -u username:password -o all.delicious.xml http://del.icio.us/api/posts/all
to retrieve the posts, which can be checked in to the Revision Control System with a simple
ci -l -q -m"`date`" all.delicious.xml

It can be installed on your own server – if you mess up that one, you know who did it
And it features the same API as del.icio.us, which allows you to change just the URL in most del.icio.us-based tools and be done.
