New Site for This Blog?

I have been contemplating moving this blog to another blog hosting platform. I am more or less satisfied with this blog, but it does have some major drawbacks such as not being able to categorize posts in certain ways. I also recently learned that I cannot back up anything I write here. Nor can I transfer it wholesale to another blog hosting site. I don't hold any delusions of grandeur concerning this blog, but I do find it rather alarming that I could essentially lose everything I have written here due to some technical glitch or other. 

In light of these considerations, I am pondering other options. I thought about Wordpress, but they seem to be getting a kick out of deplatforming people lately. Many bloggers I follow use Blogspot. Is this is a good option? Any suggestions or advice would be more than welcome.
