Ask HN: How can I back up an old vBulletin forum without admin access?
You can try https://replayweb.page/ as a test for viewing a WARC file. I do think you'll run into problems though with wanting to browse interconnected links in a forum format, but try this as a first step.
One potential option but definitely a bit more work would be, once you have all the warc files downloaded, you can open them all in python using the warctools module and maybe beautifulsoup and potentially parse/extract all of the data embedded in the WARC archives into your own "fresh" HTML webserver.

Best practices for archiving websites
Use the Webrecorder tool suite https://webrecorder.net! It uses a new package file format for web archivss called WACZ (Web Archive Zipped) which produces a single file which you can store anywhere and playback offline. It automatically indexes different file formats such as PDFs or media files contained on the website and is versioned. You can record WACZ using the Chrome extension ArchiveWeb.page https://archiveweb.page/ or use the Internet Archive’s Save Page Now button to preserve a website and have the WACZ file sent to you via email: https://inkdroid.org/2023/04/03/spn-wacz/. There are also more sophisticated tools like the in-browser crawler ArchiveWeb.page Express https://express.archiveweb.page or the command-line crawler BrowserTrix https://webrecorder.net/tools#browsertrix-crawler. But manually recording using the Chrome extension is definitely the easiest and most reliable way. To play back the WACZ file just open it in the offline web-app ReplayWeb.page https://replayweb.page.

Webrecorder: Capture interactive websites and replay them at a later time
(Disclaimer: I work at Webrecorder)
Our automated crawler browsertrix-crawler (https://github.com/webrecorder/browsertrix-crawler) uses Puppeteer to run browsers that we archive in by loading pages, running behaviors such as auto-scroll, and then record the request/response traffic. We have some custom behavior for some social media and video sites to make sure that content is appropriate captured. It is a bit of a cat-and-mouse game as we have to continue to update these behaviors as sites change, but for the most part it works pretty well.
The trickier part is in replaying the archived websites, as a certain amount of re-writing has to happen in order to make sure the HTML and JS are working with archived assets rather than the live web. One implementation of this is replayweb.page (https://github.com/webrecorder/replayweb.page), which does all of the rewriting client-side in the browser. This sets you interact with archived websites in WARC or WACZ format as if interacting with the original site.

Is there such a thing as a " Master Search Engine " for desktops and websites that can search for any keyword on the site and on the PC?
Currently the only way I know of doing this is by making a WARC file of the site with something like ArchiveWeb and then opening the WARC file with something like ReplayWeb : https://replayweb.page/

Finding the Forgotten Fotolog
Of course, the next question will be: Once / if I find the right file with the correct URL, how do I actually access that content? I assume it will involve searching through the massive WARC files using a dedicated software. I tried using replayweb.page, but many of the files seemed to be inaccessible.

How to Download All of Wikipedia onto a USB Flash Drive
Not related to the OP topic or zim but I was looking into archiving my bookmarks and other content like documentation sites and wikis. I'll list some of the things I ended up using.
ArchiveBox[1]: Pretty much a self-hosted wayback machine. It can save websites as plain html, screenshot, text, and some other formats. I have my bookmarks archived in it and have a bookmarklet to easily add new websites to it. If you use the docker-compose you can enable a full-text search backend for an easy search setup.
WebRecorder[2]: A browser extension that creates WACZ archives directly in the browser capturing exactly what content you load. I use it on sites with annoying dynamic content that sites like wayback and ArchiveBox wouldn't be able to copy.
ReplayWeb[3]: An interface to browse archive types like WARC, WACZ, and HAR. The interface is just like browsing through your browser. It can be self-hosted as well for the full offline experience.
browsertrix-crawler[4]: A CLI tool to scrape websites and output to WACZ. Its super easy to run with Docker and I use it to scrape entire blogs and docs for offline use. It uses Chrome to load webpages and has some extra features like custom browser profiles, interactive login, and autoscroll/autoplay. I use the `--generateWACZ` parameter so I can use ReplayWeb to easily browse through the final output.
For bookmark and misc webpage archiving then ArchiveBox should be more than enough. Check out this repo for an amazing list of tools and resources https://github.com/iipc/awesome-web-archiving
