Obsidian plugins with #archiving#

The Local Backup plugin creates local vault backups on startup, on quit and at scheduled intervals, with separate output path settings for Windows and Unix environments. It supports include and exclude patterns with wildcard matching, so you can back up the whole vault, limit backups to selected folders and files or exclude specific paths after inclusion is applied. The plugin can retry failed runs, create one off backup files that are kept outside the normal cleanup cycle and manage backup retention through lifecycle settings. For large vaults it also offers an optional external archiver workflow for tools such as 7-Zip, WinRAR and Bandizip when direct backup work causes the app to stall.

The Social Archiver plugin saves social media posts, web pages, newsletters and podcasts into a private archive library that can also write Markdown notes into your vault. It supports single post archiving, profile crawls and subscriptions across a wide list of platforms, then keeps archive state, tags, highlights, notes and delete actions aligned with the service where supported. The plugin also adds timeline browsing, media gallery views, full text search and optional web sharing for archived posts. Its desktop features extend this with podcast transcription and local AI comments through external CLI tools. It requires a Social Archiver account and Obsidian must stay open when the plugin writes Markdown files into the vault.

The Wayback Archiver plugin assists users by automatically archiving web links using the Wayback Machine's API and embedding the archived versions into notes. It includes vault-wide link scanning, filters to exclude or include specific links, URL substitution rules, and retry mechanisms for failed attempts. Additionally, it offers profile-based settings for tailored configurations and commands for managing and processing archives efficiently. This plugin is particularly useful for users who desire a reliable snapshot of referenced web content.

The Packrat plugin helps manage completed recurring tasks within an Obsidian vault by automatically organizing them based on user-defined triggers. It offers three actions for completed tasks: moving them to the bottom of the current note, archiving them in a separate file, or deleting them. The plugin allows users to configure custom triggers, such as tags, emojis, or text strings, to specify the desired action. It enhances task management by keeping notes clutter-free and ensuring important records are archived efficiently.

The Auto Move File plugin automates moving or copying notes and folders when frontmatter properties or file names match user defined rules. It supports multiple rules, exact and fuzzy matching, property based and filename based monitoring and priority control either by rule order or by the order of properties in frontmatter. Global settings let you restrict the watch scope to specific folders, set required filename keywords, choose delay units and switch real time monitoring on or off. Rules can block moves when another value is present, archive whole folders instead of single files and copy files while keeping the original. Manual commands are included to check the current file or scan all matching files.

The Note archiver plugin helps keep your Obsidian workspace organized by providing an easy way to move notes to an archive folder. Users can archive files via a command, editor menu, or file menu button. The plugin allows customization of the archive location and can organize files by grouping them based on the year or month of archiving. This is particularly useful for managing outdated or less frequently used notes, keeping your workspace clean and efficient.
