Dreamwidth backup

Because I am a hoarder, I would like to export my entire Dreamwidth journal, including comments.

Dreamwidth provides an export tool, but it only backs up the main entries, not the comments.

I was delighted to discover ljdump, which I downloaded from here (and which, despite the name, is supposed to work for dreamwidth as well as livejournal). But every time I try to run it, I give it my username and password and it replies:


File "C:\Users\wotw\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python313\Lib\xmlrpc\client.py", line 642, in close
raise Fault(**self._stack[0])
xmlrpc.client.Fault: (Fault 101: 'Invalid password')



(I've changed the pointy brackets around "Fault 101: 'Invalid password'" to parentheses so that Dreamwidth doesn't interpret them as html brackets.)

I am sure that I am inputting a valid password, which I've tested by logging into and out of dreamwidth several times using the same password that I'm giving to ljdump.

So my questions are:

1) Is there another alternative?

2) Is there some known way to get around this problem with ljdump?


Update:Okay, this seems to do most of what I want --- except that it exports only to .pdf and .doc, and I'd really prefer .html .
