Am I the only one whose boss said the Wayback Machine was a waste of time and then a client wanted a 2004 snapshot

Back in 2019 my old manager at a shop in Austin told me saving old site snapshots was pointless busywork because the internet always keeps copies. Last week a client paid $600 to pull their 2004 homepage off the Wayback Machine for a lawsuit, and I got to send him the screenshots I stashed anyway. What is your go-to method for grabbing pages that are already half gone?
