Is there a snapshot of an archive node available somewhere ? It takes weeks to sync from scratch...
There is only full node snapshots at https://tezosshots.com/.
Thank you!
There is no such thing as an "archive snapshot".
If you want an archive mode storage you have two possibilities:
bootstrap form scratch,
import a full snapshot and use the
--reconstructoption to "restore an archive storage" (which is a bit faster but may take days).
If you really want to download a compressed archive of someone's archive node, it is indeed possible but it is not recommended as the data may have been altered.

Thank you, the second option seems great! Which data/folder would need to be saved if I would like to save my own archive ? Feb 13 '20 at 9:23

If you want to backup your own storage you must keep, at least, the
context,storeandversion.json. By default, it is located in~/.tezos-node.– vect0rFeb 13 '20 at 9:39 -
The node delete the data when I paste these files and fodlers. Must I copy also the
alphanet_versionfile located indata? Feb 28 '20 at 13:29
