“Backup” can mean two different things. Pick the one you actually need — then use the matching open-source path. We don’t host full fics. Not AO3 / OTW.
Run a downloader on your computer. Point it at your bookmarks URL (or a link file). Log in only inside that tool — never on a random website.
Best starting point for “download all my bookmarked works.” Can also export links only.
Original project: https://github.com/nianeyna/ao3downloader
Often fed a URL list. Good if you already live in Calibre.
Original project: https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFare
Batch downloader with a graphical interface.
Original project: https://github.com/fIux-dev/froyo
Not affiliated with these projects. Download only from the GitHub links above.
Save what you bookmarked so you can find it again or hand the URLs to FanFicFare later. This is not a full fic archive.
Different job from downloading other people’s bookmarks.
Scrapes your public works into Markdown. Not for mass-downloading someone else’s library.
Original project: https://github.com/thedeadparrot/ao3backup
Or use AO3’s own Download button on each of your works when the site is up.
You can’t finish a live backup until the archive is reachable. Bookmark the tool list, fix reused passwords, and wait for official OTW updates.
