Archive.is is an on-demand archiving site, similar to WebCite. One key difference is that it stores "Web 2.0" pages better than WebCite; it also supports zip downloads of individual webpages. It does not store PDFs, binary files, Adobe Flash content, videos, or sounds. As of Dec. 2012, the website has archived about 10 TB of data.

Funding

According to their FAQ:

It is privately funded, there in no complex finance behind it. It may look more or less reliable compared to the startup-style funding or an univercity project, depending on which risks are taken into account. My death can cause interruption of service, but something like new market condition or changing head of a department can not.
