Requirements
To use the default Drupal\earkiv\Plugin\earkiv\Archiver\HTTrackArchiver plugin the command line tool httrack must be installed on the server. Please see installation instructions on the HTTrack website.
Installation
Install as you would normally install a contributed Drupal module. For further information, see Installing Drupal Modules.
Configuration
Configure the module on the E-Arkiv configuration page (/admin/config/services/earkiv).
- Select the Default archiver plugin to use
- Select the Default storage plugin to use
When the above steps are completed click Save. After you have saved the configuration form you will be presented with additional configuration options for the selected plugins.
Plugins
The module ships with two plugins. The HTTrack archiver plugin and Local storage plugin. For simple use cases these will be enough. If the site you are archiving is very large and perhaps you like to store your archives offsite you can develop your own plugins.
