Iterasi is a perfect tool for creating personal web archives - click a button and it saves an exact copy of the current web page in the original format including all images, style sheets and JavaScript files.
Web pages downloaded into your Iterasi account are preserved forever so even if the original website goes down, you always have access to the old content just like the Wayback Machine at Internet Archive.
Now there’s a new feature that makes this software even more useful - you can schedule Iterasi to download and save your favorite web pages at periodic intervals automatically (e.g. download Yahoo! home page every day at 8 AM).
The process is almost as easy as setting up a recurring appointment in Google Calendar. Type the URL of a web page to track, select how frequently the Iterasi crawlers should harvest content of that page and save.
If you are a geek, you’ll find Iterasi more handy than setting up a wget cron job in Unix. The downside is that your computer should be running during the times you want the scheduler to run.
