BackupURL saves any site for viewing later

With social bookmarking and archiving site Magnolia down until a re-launch later this year, some users might be looking for an alternate way to capture snapshots of Web sites as they appeared at specific times. Besides Iterasi, which we've covered previously, there's a new service called BackupURL that can save what a page looked like, and make it available for reading later--even when the site is temporarily down, or long gone.

To do it for any page, you simply drop in its URL, and BackupURL will capture links, images, and any page formatting. What's nice is that it generates both a full URL to the backup, and a shortened version to drop into IM messages or your favorite microblogging service.

Missing at the moment is a bookmarklet or browser extension to let you do this on any page you're viewing, but I assume one will come later on.

BackupURL saves an instance of a page for later viewing. Even if the links and content change (or go offline) you can still access it via BackupURL's cache.

You can save any website you want to multiple levels with Firefox and Scrapbook!

I use "Save As"

Heh, but then the onus is on you to keep track of that backup. These folks are doing that for you :D

You save as a PDF, or straight up HTML?

Too bad archiving isn't a higher priority - one would think the Library of Congress and/or Archive.org could capture the entire web were the motivation present...
