Hi Archive Maniac, if you're having trouble, it's best to chat on [[IRC]] on the #archiveteam channel on EFnet where more people can help. I don't know how to upload wikis so you will need to join the #wikiteam channel for help. Please be patient and leave your chat client connected to give someone time to answer. Thanks.

Hi, sorry for not responding to your earlier messages. I don't check the wiki for messages that often because Archive Team does all its discussion on [[IRC]]. There's no forums unfortunately. If you have trouble with IRC, you can email me and I can get back to you sooner. | |||
Regarding the best way to store your backups is to keep copies on multiple hard drives. Like VHS tapes and audio cassettes, CDs and DVDs wear out after a while. It's called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_rot disk rot]. Although hard drives don't last long either, they hold much more data and are cheaper in the long run. | |||
People who run the Warrior scripts manually usually have experience and money to spend on cloud computing for virtual hosts so they can run dozens of the scripts at once. This is why the people at the top of the Warrior leaderboards have gigabytes and gigabytes downloaded. | |||
Archive Team already has a way for people to submit websites to be archived. It's called [[ArchiveBot]] and anyone can use it.

However when uploading websites, you need to upload WARC files instead of a 7z file of the website. With wget, you'll need to use the <code>--warc-file</code> option. For example, <code>--warc-file example</code> will produce a WARC file called <code>example.warc.gz</code>. You want to use WARC files so The Wayback Machine can load them and show the archives properly. | |||

Hi Archive Maniac, if you're having trouble, it's best to chat on IRC on the #archiveteam channel on EFnet where more people can help. I don't know how to upload wikis so you will need to join the #wikiteam channel for help. Please be patient and leave your chat client connected to give someone time to answer. Thanks.

Hi, sorry for not responding to your earlier messages. I don't check the wiki for messages that often because Archive Team does all its discussion on IRC. There's no forums unfortunately. If you have trouble with IRC, you can email me and I can get back to you sooner.
Regarding the best way to store your backups is to keep copies on multiple hard drives. Like VHS tapes and audio cassettes, CDs and DVDs wear out after a while. It's called disk rot. Although hard drives don't last long either, they hold much more data and are cheaper in the long run.
People who run the Warrior scripts manually usually have experience and money to spend on cloud computing for virtual hosts so they can run dozens of the scripts at once. This is why the people at the top of the Warrior leaderboards have gigabytes and gigabytes downloaded.
Archive Team already has a way for people to submit websites to be archived. It's called ArchiveBot and anyone can use it. All Archive Team files are placed into the archiveteam collection. Adding files to collection is restricted since files under this collection show up in the Wayback Machine.
Regarding uploading things to Internet Archive, uploading archives with good conventions is excellent and I wish more people would take initiative and be proactive.
However when uploading websites, you need to upload WARC files instead of a 7z file of the website. With wget, you'll need to use the --warc-file option. For example, --warc-file example will produce a WARC file called example.warc.gz. You want to use WARC files so The Wayback Machine can load them and show the archives properly.
I hope I answered your questions and sorry for missing your earlier messages. --- Chfoo 16:18, 12 April 2014 (EDT)
