The https://etherpad-backup.toolforge.org/ is ready for all y'all to use in archiving the html dump of individual pads now and in the future. If you have lists of pads that you feel will be too cumbersome to archive one at a time please consider creating a Phabricator ticket tagged with #tool-etherpad-backup [0] providing your list as linked Phabricator Paste or a downloadable file link. Many thanks from me to [[User:Tkarcher]] [1] for starting the etherpad-backup tool, archiving around 8000 pads, and being open to collaboration on adding features to the tool.
