Offline Archiving

Hello-

I haven’t been able to find a post on this, so I’m making my own, if someone knows of one, please let me know.

I have a travel blog that I want to take down to make space on my site, but I want to archive it on CD/DVD for posterity. Any ideas how this could be done?

I believe there is a version of wamp that will do this. There is a post about this somewhere. Ah yes uniformserver is what you want.

Re: Offline Archiving

Thank you for the quick reply, I’m actually running OSX, and have MySQL running, but I don’t want to keep the blog active, I just want to archive it on CD, so that anyone, regardless of if they have MySQL running, can view it…

Thanks again!

Re: Offline Archiving

Doesn’t that just create an online archive? I need an OFFline archive.

Re: Offline Archiving

<a href=“http://www.limit-point.com/BlueCrab/BlueCrab.html”>Blue Crab</a> and <a href=“http://www.sitesucker.us/”>Site Sucker</a> are paid options for the Mac. Haven’t tried either myself, so I can’t comment.

If you’re comfortable with the command line, however: no, <code>wget</code> is not just for online mirrors. You can use it to download to your local machine.

Re: Offline Archiving

There is also httrack which can be installed through Fink. It worked on some sites I couldn’t get wget to work right with.
