Squarespace Backup vs HTTrack, SiteSucker, and the Wayback Machine

HTTrack, SiteSucker, and the Wayback Machine can all save *some* of a public Squarespace site. They are not the same product as a monthly backup in your inbox.

HTTrack / SiteSucker. Desktop crawlers. You run them, you get a folder. Great if you remember to run them. They don’t email you next month. They don’t know your site exists unless you open the app.

Wayback Machine. A public archive of URLs it happened to fetch. Gaps, missing CSS, no private link, no screenshots on a schedule. Useful as a last-ditch lookup. Not a backup you own.

Dead Simple Backups. Paste a URL. Free: that public page, HTML + screenshot, in about a minute. $79/year: every public page, screenshots of every page, stored, emailed monthly. No password. Cancel anytime; you keep what you already received.

Use a desktop crawler if you want a one-off folder on a hard drive. Use us if you want next month to show up without you remembering.
