Exactly, Pinboard has a pretty good API, so you can handle the backups yourself without too much trouble.

I came across a post [1] with a backup script. It refers to another link [2] that shows you can just use a simple curl and get all of your data.

Thanks guys, that makes sense. The 1 line curl backup looks nifty.

Going to look into this a bit more. Should improve on my current local bookmarks + external backup setup, without involving Google or any other data mining cloud service.
