Unsure whether something fits here or not? Answering these questions will help.

  • Is the tool used in a formal web archiving programme?
  • Does it archive or capture and preserve other people's data not just backup your own?
  • Does it make use of widely accepted web archiving standards (WARC, Memento, CDX, etc.)?
  • Is it focused on a broader sense of web sites and web-like platforms (public, interlinked), and not on individual applications that just happen to use a browser as a runtime environment?
