  • How to archive the tweets and replies of my own terminated twitter account(s)
    Try Conifer, it's free for 5 GB of data. You get a virtual browser inside their website and every page you navigate to is automatically saved to a WARC file (look it up). Source: over 2 years ago
  • How can I save websites to Wayback Machine that has content behind an account lock?
    Probably try : https://conifer.rhizome.org/ or https://webrecorder.net/ (all previously webrecorder.io). Then you can export your saved pages file into archive.org (but my guess not in the Wayback Machine). Source: almost 3 years ago
  • Family member died - archiving their sites?
    You could crawl them using Conifer and keep the crawls private, then download the WARC files. WARC or Web Archive files can be 'played' back using any web archive playback software. ReplayWeb is a good one. Source: about 3 years ago
  • My mother just passed away. She wrote extensively on this website. What can I do to archive everything she wrote?
    Https://conifer.rhizome.org/ is what you're looking for. Source: about 3 years ago
