I used to make personal backups with Furl, but they’ve been taken over by Diigo. I already had an acct with Diigo, so all I had to do was import my Furls to Diigo.

I checked whether the Furl caches transferred to Diigo, and at first it appeared that they did. But after checking a few more, I found a few of my transferred Furl caches loaded as parked domains on Diigo’s cached copy (geez, that was complicated to type; hope it made sense). I did download my caches as a zip file from Furl before I exported them to Diigo, but they’re not named by what I titled them, only by weird numbers (Furl truly failed at that).

I played around with BackupUrl, and liked how we can share the cached copy. But I really hate how we have to remove the http:// portion of the url, or it won’t work. I can copy an url to clipboard with 2 clicks using FF, yet I have to edit the url before it’ll work with BackupUrl. That bugged me many years ago with Yahoo bookmarks, and now another site is doing it many years later, sigh!

This doesn't handle sharing, but the Firefox extension ScrapBook is amazing for collecting & storing snapshots of web pages.

I click on file at top of page, and then click on “send Link”.
This only takes a very short time.

What do I do? I use Paparazzi, a freeware for Mac that takes a screenshot of all the web pages and not only what you see on the screen.

I just needed to research something for this very case and came across backupURL in my travels.

It’s ok but doesn’t handle rich media well. It’s good for really quick fixes though.

The service that blew me away though was Iterasi (www.iterasi.net) which not only does a much better job with embedded content but gives you the possibility to create RSS feeds from the pages that you’re archiving.
