Re: Yahoo Groups is a Norwegian Blue
Preserving the content.
I have been using a tool called PG Offline to download the conversations, files and photos
from this and a number of other Yahoo Groups that I am a member of. The files, links and
photos are download as files within a folder structure on disk and the conversations/posts
are loaded into a SQLLite database from which they can be extracted and parsed.
At the moment I have the following downloaded/archived.
- Conversations/Posts = 24,432
- Files = 104 / 101 MB
- Photos = 140 / 30MB
- Links = 28
As was mentioned previously, groups.io appears to have functionality to migrate data. It
would seem worth doing this just have an online backup. #yiv7985079688 #yiv7985079688 --
