History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.
The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.
This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.
Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.
The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.
To use ArchiveBot, drop by #archivebot on EFNet. To interact with ArchiveBot, you issue commands by typing it into the channel. Note you will need channel operator permissions in order to issue archiving jobs. The dashboard shows the sites being downloaded currently.

The terrible Sendai earthquake on March 11, 2011 has many disastrous consequencies. Among these, many people left Japan because of the awareness of the regular risk of nuclear disaster. beNippon has not been different, and because most of the team has chose to stop working or leave Japan, we decided to stop our activity.
All pending orders and preorders have been fully refunded and canceled between April 11 and 17, 2011.
The whole beNippon team joins me to thanks you for your confidence from the begining. We specificaly want to thanks the many customers and anonymous having sent support messages theses last weeks. We could not reply to every all of you, but all your messages helped us to go through this ordeal.
Even though Japan has apparently came back to normal life, the problem is still existing and must not be forgotten. About 50 nuclear power plants are still used on Japan land, which is regularly victim of strong earthquakes. Moreoever the danger is worsen by the lying private companies managing these plants. Japan must stop nuclear power even more than any other country. For more information: http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/campaigns/nuclear/

Le terrible séisme de Sendai du 11 mars 2011 a eu de nombreuses conséquences catastrophiques. Parmi celles-ci, la conscience du risque régulier de catastrophe nucléaire a fait fuire de nombreuses personnes en ayant la possibilité. beNippon n'est pas épargnée, et la majorité de l'équipe ayant décidé d'arrêter de travailler ou de quitter le Japon, nous avons décidé de stopper notre activité.
Toutes les commandes et précommandes en cours ont été intégralement remboursées et annulées durant la semaine du 11 au 17 avril 2011.
Toute l'équipe de beNippon se joint à moi pour vous remercier sincèrement de la confiance que vous nous avez accordée depuis le début. Nous voulons tout particulièrement remercier les nombreux clients et anonymes nous ayant envoyé des messages d'encouragement ces dernières semaines. Nous n'avons pas pu répondre à chacun d'entre vous, mais tous vos messages nous aident à traverser cette épreuve.
Le fond du problème reste encore entier à ce jour, et le retour apparent à la normale ici au Japon ne doit pas faire oublier le danger inhérent à la présence d'une cinquantaine de centrales nucléaires sur le sol japonais, régulièrement victime de tremblements de terre ravageurs. Danger agravé par la gestion opaque et mensongère des entreprises privées en ayant la responsabilité. Le Japon doit sortir du nucléaire plus encore que tout autre pays.
