空间搬迁，少不了备份Movable Type。
MT4的备份可以分为两步，备份模板和备份数据。
1. 备份模板
MT的模板和WP不一样，分为Templates和Styles，默认情况下，修改的Templates是不会产生单独的对应文件的，如果想单独备份Template，可以使用每个Template下面都有的"Link to File"功能。
比如说，要保存"Main Index"这个Template，先在blog根目录下（我的是/blog/）建立一个文件夹，可以取名为"templates"，于是，在"Link to File"中就可以填入"/templates/main_index.tmpl"，这样的话每次保存"Main Index"这个Template之后，就会产生一个单独的文件main_index.tmpl在templates目录下。
其他templates的操作也是这样，当然，备份文件的名字是可以随便取的，只要能分辨出就行。
因此，Templates的备份就是把自己建立的文件夹templates，包括里面的文件，全部传到本地就行了。
而Styles的备份就非常简单了，进入/mt-static/themes/，找到当前使用的style对应的文件夹，传到本地即可。
这样就完成了模板的备份。
2. 备份数据
相对于模板来说，数据的备份就最简单了，进入后台，右上角"System Overview->Tools"，选择Backup，选好需要备份的blog，默认设置，按一下"Make Backup"，保存好生成的一个xml文件就行了。
这里要说一下的是Import和Export这两个功能，Export导出的只是全部文章和评论，不包括各种设置，而Import导入的也是文章和评论，还支持其他blog平台的文章导入。这两个功能适合不同平台之间文章的传递，而不适于blog的备份。
3. 还原
讲完备份，就应该讲一下还原的时候应该做的，其实还原很简单，只要按原样把备份的东西放回对应的目录就可以了，前提是先在主机上把MT安装好，然后把templates文件夹传回blog根目录，style文件夹放回/mt-static/themes/下面，之后进入"System Overview->Tools"，选择"Restore"，选择之前的xml文件，等待片刻就行了。最后重新Publish一下就OK了。
升级MT的话，SSH登录主机，下载升级压缩包：
解压缩
tar xzvf MT-4.2-en.tar.gz
覆盖原有的MT系统文件。
cd MT-4.2-en
cp -f . ~/your site/mtcgi
然后当登入MT系统时，会提示升级。
