Not just websites. Basically any digital media. From PDFs, book scans, manuals, floppy disks, CDs, basically anything even remotely worth archiving

Yep, but I didn't mention that because it's not a part of the "Wayback Machine", it's just the general "Internet Archive" business of archiving media, which is for now still completely unavailable. (I've uploaded dozens of public-domain books there myself, and I'm really missing it...)
