I am building weblogging software that stores everything in AtomPub collections--comments, entries, settings, pictures, attachments, templates, etc. So, it is definitely possible for backup/restore purposes for a given software package. For import/export between different software packages, blogging packages *should* (IMO) be able to import/export entries and comments as Atom feeds but many don't do a good job doing it. Besides entries and comments, Atom is less useful because there are not standards for encoding settings, and many settings applicable for package A (e.g. WordPress) are not applicable to package B (e.g. Moveable Type).
