with any filesystem search tools let ai agents browse them directly and back them up as regular files designed to last 100yr each snapshot has a folder for every capture method html lives in folders such as dom and singlefile images pdfs and media have their own folders too metadata is stored in sqlite and json with snapshot metadata alongside the outputs your collection s database and configuration live outside the snapshot folders and your files remain readable without a hosted service static exports and publishing you can export the archive index as static html json or csv with
