The Windows Live Writer Backup Utility has been updated there are no new functions, but now it is fully compatible with the Windows Live Writer Beta 3.

Well the main things that have been sorted are the new directory path for Live Writer.

If you had beta 2 and upgraded to beta 3, the plugins stayed in the beta 2 plugins folder, doing a backup now will put them all into the one folder when you restore.

Older backup files (pre-beta 3), will still work. If you had settings from beta 2 backed up, they will get migrated across for beta 3.

If a plugin developer chooses to use the PluginAssemblies method of deployment (like me), those plugins and associated files will get backed up and restored OK.
