What is currently the de-facto way of backing up Tumblr tumblelogs? I have "backstage" access to Backupify's Tumblr service, but (as they forewarned) it's not all too stable.
Here's a very barebones webapp that will let you back up your Tumblr page. Was featured on Lifehacker.
you can also try this free tool, written in java: http://code.google.com/p/tumblr-backup/
but it just backs up the photos. But an advantage is, that it does incremental backups, starts on each run where it left off the last time.

Interesting, thanks. Do you know if it also downloads linked high-res versions of the photos? – unor Nov 29 '12 at 11:17
If you have a Mac, there's a Mac application available. I know that at one point there was an effort to port this (it's built on PHP scripts, so it shouldn't be too tough) to other platforms, but I guess nothing ever came of that.
You can try using Tumblelog Backup Jammy, just fetch your posts and save the html. :)
