A new opportunity has just opened. http://tasvideos.org/TASSnapshot.html I'm not making it publicly available yet for two reasons: ― Making 20 MB files available on my web server without discrimination makes it rather too easy to exhaust my limited bandwidth, slowing the server access to halt ― I am not sure whether it's ok for everyone. So I want to hear opinions.

That can be cool for backup purposes, maybe you should send a snapshot to someone every month?

It's not really a backup; it doesn't enable restoring the site fully (because it's not the source code of it; it's the rendered results). I put the file on the page now. There's a security question (distribution of personal data) to be considered when deciding who has access to full backups of the site. However, this archive can be used to provide a light-weight version of the site (loadwise; no serverside code) in case of downtimes etc.
