The 'failed to fetch' error in Wayback Machine occurs when Wayback Machine itself cannot retrieve information from its database. It is not an error from the target website.

Wayback Machine saves snapshots of web pages: When Wayback Machine archives a web page, it saves a copy of the page on its servers. This means that even if the original web page ceases to exist, Wayback Machine should be able to show you the archived version.
The 'failed to fetch' error indicates that Wayback Machine cannot find the archived copy of the page: This could be due to an issue with Wayback Machine's database.
