Retrieving an entire website using Google Cache?

Question

There is a site that I want to retrieve from Google Cache that had thousands of pages. Is there any way I can get it back quickly using Google Cache or some other web crawler/archiver?

Answer 1

You can see what Google (still) knows about a website by using a site restrict:

http://www.google.com/search?q=site:[domain]

You might also check out the Internet Archive.

(In either case, you’d probably want to do some heavy-duty automating to fetch thousands of pages.)
