I work for a State Library in Australia.  We have a "web 
preservation" project whose job it is to capture and archive 
websites that were created by our state's developers.  Each 
site therefore must be captured in whole (or as whole as 
possible), so it will be an accurate representation for the 
future.




In some cases we have requested copies of a website on CD 
from the webmasters.  But due to many sites nowadays being 
dynamic, this often is not possible, and that's why a tool 
like HTTrack is important.

Are you familiar with the HTTrack options?

I will make a note to write up some of the important 
settings that should be set by default.




What do you think, Xavier?
