05.02. Downloading Snapshots for All Timestamps

Downloading Snapshots for All Timestamps

By default, your files are archived in different snapshots for each timestamp. You can specify the -a parameter to download all snapshot versions for each file.

The -a parameter is not to be confused with -A parameter, although they both can also be used in conjunction.

-a             All timestamps. Retrieves snapshots for all timestamps.

Optional. The -a parameter will download the file versions all timestamps. The timestamp of each snapshot will be used as a directory.

wbm-dl yoursite.com -o c:/download  -a

Will download to the directory structure below:

c:/download/websites/yoursite.com/20180820202452/index.html
c:/download/websites/yoursite.com/20181019232937/index.html
c:/download/websites/yoursite.com/20190305194903/assets/logo.png

If this parameter is omitted the Wayback Machine Downloader will only download the latest snapshot version of each unique item.
