You should try the ScrapBook extension for FireFox. Besides caching your own personal copy of a page, you can also edit it with highlights, notes, and remove irrelevant objects.

Truly a many splendid thing!

Thanks. Do you have a suggestion for software to backup a whole web site?

This sounds like rather unique service. Nifty tip.

A good companion to this, for sometimes you need to have a complete static backup of a site locally, would be HTTPTrack. It’s one of my favorite tools in my tool box. It is very configurable and will take as much or as little of a site as you want. I don’t know anything about the ppl who make it but I do know it works.

Here is the URL: http://www.httrack.com/

I run a fan website for a game company, who recently announced one of their websites was having a full makeover. BackupUrl will be a great tool to use to keep a version of the old site. Thanks.

Well, the service is ok, but I cached my site thinking it took an image of it. Now there’s a duplicate of my site out there and that messes with my seo on the site. Google has the option to show the cached site or my real site first. I guess I screwed myself over by using the service. No one to contact anyone either. sad
