The archiving happens automatically; you shouldn't need to do anything except request an archive backup[1]. Unfortunately those requests are not honoured, and haven't been for a long time (my last successful backup was in July 2020).

- osculum 4y agoAh my memory is blurry in the specifics. I think the issue was then that the archived link never showed up. Definitely it didn't work. I checked an rechecked the FAQ to make sure that in fact it wasn't working for me, and it wasn't that I didn't know how to use it. -- Actually... I just checked my emails. My account never upgraded after payment (it was still standard) and the check-mark didn't appear next to my links. And of course there was no way for me to see the archived page or request an archive backup.
- yakubin 4y agoYup. I have an archival account and none of my archived articles work. Some of them show an error, I hit the button to recrawl, but that just results in the error reappearing after a while. Others don’t show an error, but when I want to view the archived version, it says it didn’t find it. So I have a bunch of links in there, which already link-rotted, and weren’t successfully archived by Pinboard. I’m considering moving to just using the SavePage (or whatever it was called) browser extension with a text file for the metadata (url, tags, titles, notes) on a NAS.

(I tend not to use its notes and tags features, however—even though it has them. I just defer to Hypothesis for that.)
