Download any website from the Internet Archive Wayback Machine.
You need to install Ruby on your system (>= 1.9.2) - if you don't already have it, then run:
gem install wayback_machine_downloader
Run wayback_machine_downloader with the base url of the website you want to retrieve as a parameter (e.g., http://example.com):
wayback_machine_downloader http://example.com
It will download the last version of every file present on Wayback Machine to websites/example.com/. It will also re-create a directory structure and auto-create index.html pages to work seamlessly with Apache and Nginx. URLs and links structure are preserved as much as possible.
You may want to supply a specific timestamp to lock your backup to an older version of the website. Wayback Machine Downloader will then fetch only file versions on or prior to the timestamp specified:
wayback_machine_downloader http://example.com` --timestamp 20060716231334
Contributions are welcome! Just submit a pull request via GitHub.
