I am yahoogroup owner-how do i download all messages store to my computer for safe keeping?

Question

Is there a way to download all message archieve to my computer for safe keeping. It appears yahoogroups does not let you do this - Is this true

Answer 1

Yahoo does not provide a way to do that.  You can copy your own messages, one by one and save them on your computer.  You would need to get permission from the other people who posted their messages on the group before legally copying them to your computer.

Answer 2

PGoffline, other programs as such will back up your group and it's a good idea for some type groups to back them up

you cannot re-transmit the archives or any part of them any where else however (TOS) than your group
