Forcing Radio To Archive Its Posts

I just posted this on Radio in the vain attempt....

This post is a desperate attempt to "force" Radio to "backup" or "archive." It says:

...

I deleted the stuff in that directory 5 hours ago, Turned off and then turned on the above options. 5 hours later, nothing in that directory!!! Just how is this supposed to work?? I have to generate a post to make it archive? Stand on my head? What??[Sam Gentile's Blog ]

Weird, cause it did it right away when I performed those steps. However, fear not! I've located the method you need to call to force archiving to happen. Follow these easy steps to force archiving to take place:

  1. Open the Radio Client
  2. Hit CTRL+; to open the Quick Script window
  3. Type "radio.weblog.archive.update()"
  4. Hit the Run button
  5. Watch the status messages on the "About Radio Window". You'll see it write a message for each post it's actively archiving. When it stops, your archive files should all be there.
