It appears you can iterate on all pages indexing questions with: https://ask.openstack.org/en/questions/scope:all/sort:activity-desc/page:<NUMBER_FROM_1_TO_910>/ Each question can be retrieved directly by its ID without having to know the last part of the URL. For example, https://ask.openstack.org/en/question/24115/ redirects to https://ask.openstack.org/en/question/24115/sample-data-of-objectringgz-containerringgz-and-accountringgz/ So, if an administrator could extract all question IDs from the database, you could feed the question URLs and the index pages to the Wayback Machine Save Page Now service, for example via this library: https://github.com/pastpages/savepagenow Although without a working search engine the usefulness of the archive is limited.
