[Node.js] tool for archiving a Reddit user's comments as an HTML file. [Node.js]: http://nodejs.org/ Defaults to archiving the maximum number of comments viewable via a user's profile, which is currently 1000.
Tested as working on Node.js v0.10.26.
To use, navigate to the installed directory and run this command:
node baconbackup.js USERNAME
At a maximum of 1000 comments available, a maximum of 100 comments per page request, and a minimum of 2 seconds between page requests, the fastest a full backup can be done is 20 seconds.
You can optionally hard-code the user variable if you're going to repeatedly run baconbackup on the same user and don't want to have to keep typing their handle into the commandline.
