Of course, when you have your own wordpress-installation on your server, wordpress.com can't censor that!

Wordpress can do that, although you have your blog on your own domain and server??? How would they do that? I have been using serendipity, but I am about to recommend Wordpress to colleagues of mine. “Also, if wordpress.com one day decided to censor specific topics, one should be able to move fast and reestablish the whole blog on a different platform.”

This means that the script of Nachtwächter would have to parse the xml-file and then download all attachments (or only the new ones) and store them in a folder. If/when the original server crashes, the import script wouldn't have to download the files, but it would ask where they are (on the server, if you have direct access) or give you the opportunity to upload the files one by one. It would then have to put them in the right place, recreate the thumbnails and link them to their respective database-items. The first step would be to include your algorithm of downloading the files into Nachtwächters'. After that the task of reimporting those files is a little bit easier (at least when the user can access the server directly, i.e. via ftp). @zappoman: well basically i’d like to a have a backup-system, that stores everything.

My script is basically inspired by the Wordpress to Wordpress importer that comes with standalone Wordpress and WordpressMU, and so it really as you said is designed to import a wordpress XML file (from the export you mention) into a wordpress install. Of course it's written under creative commons licensing and so the Wordpress.com team could use it on wordpress.com but someone would need to convince them to do so. Anyway, I think the combination of the Nacthwachter tool and my tool would be a great solution for keeping a backup ready for redeployment.
