Forum Backup Completed

[ApolloAbove [SG]]

Hello everyone.

I have succeeded in creating a full backup of these forums. They handle exactly like an offline copy of a website would, so there are a number of considerations to make note of.

- There is no way to search or utilize the search function (I understand how important this part is and I am working on another tool to let anyone search the archives)
- There is no way to log in or view any private profiles, nor view any content that you'd have to sign in for.
- The archive is quite large! In the zip file, it is about 11GB in size. Uncompressed however, it is about 50-60GB in size.
- There are over 500,000 individual pages in the archive, each page is stored as one file. If you are on an older system, it's in your best interest to not open any of the folders.
- Check out the "It is currently <date>" text near the top right of page to see when the archive was taken.


How to browse the downloadable archive:
1. Download the archive
2. Extract it to wherever you want
3. If you're on Windows, open the "Browse the Archive" Internet shortcut, which takes you to the main forums page in your default web browser

You can download the archive from several mirrors.
https://mega.nz/file/PW4CVLzA#AxeNMojLGin1nXW8rF2mVsTNMG1UQjWaQznB59tXv04 (Mega Link)
https://apolloabove.org/backup.zip (Site run by me)

Or, alternatively, view the archive online, without downloading anything.
Visit https://apolloabove.org to view the last archived copy of the forums. Everything handles exactly as you'd expect when browsing the forums normally, with the same exceptions listed above. The search function does not work, as there is no way to communicate, with the official Joy of Satan forums.

I will cover how to make your own back ups in my next thread.

If you want something else added to the archive, or have other comments on how to improve it, please let me know!

Thank you for this. I saw this just now. I will combine this with the already existing backup that is the full backup. That is very important to have.

 

[Soaring Eagle 666]

Thank you, it looks good! I will update my 2020 mirror on the Tor site with this one.

By the way, DocFetcher has been included in the old forums offline backup to provide a search function.

Hello,

I am aware! The updates to the archive take considerable time, I am working on getting everything updated much faster in the future.

If any other users have suggestions or feedback, please contact me using the email in my profile. If you have something else important you want backed up, talk to me through there and we can work it out.

That's a great backup. Could you somehow however specify within the site [maybe with a sitebar] that this is a backup that is being generated and then redirect to the official forum? If it's not that hard to do. If possible, it could be updated also in a weekly basis, or maybe even a cron-job can automatically update it? I am however not on the skill level to build this module.

Again, thanks for this very necessary backup.

Done. I will clarify on the archive site, that it is a backup and not the real thing. There are faster / more efficient ways to do this, contact me using my profile email.

Please restart "apolloabove.org". I want to download blue star athenaeum. If not possible in that case please provide other link to download it.

Please restart "apolloabove.org". I want to download blue star athenaeum. If not possible in that case please provide other link to download it.

As soon as I have time, I'll try to make a full backup of the forum and possibly compress it, but I can't guarantee anything. If I manage to do it, I'll see how to upload it.

 

[ApolloAbove [SG]]

Please restart "apolloabove.org". I want to download blue star athenaeum. If not possible in that case please provide other link to download it.

The link still works but isn't public. https://apolloabove.org/bluestarathenaeum.zip

At one point we decided to upgrade all websites, and this lead to me pausing the public archiving. All links still work and I have everything backed up for months and months back, even years. You can always email or DM asking for specific link or content.
