You probably already know about the Wayback machine <https://archive.org/>. You might think of them as the “respectable” side of trying to save snapshots of old websites: they respect robots.txt and takedown demands.
Well, now meet the, um, more “wild and woolly” side with the same mission: Archive Team <https://archiveteam.org/>.
OK, let me amend that: it seems they make use of archive.org to host the backups. So they can’t really be playing fast and loose with takedown demands, they simply try to act as a feed point for sites that archive.org itself might not have got around to preserving.
