Backing up picture files from Picasa-web-albums

Labels: Backing up, from Blogger-HAT Lite, Picasa, Quick-tips, Takeout, ZZ - needs 2020 editor review

Google Takeout (called Takeaway in some places) lets you backup your Picasa-web-albums, Gmail contacts, Circles, +1s and lots of other things, into one single zip file, which you can then store in a safe, off-line place.

It might be a way to move the photos in your blog to someone else if you're transferring owership of a blog.

back them up
extract them
sent the pictures to the other person
they upload them, and re-establish the links from the blog to the new location.

Still dreadfully tedious, but better than nothing.
