As much as it's probably a logistical nightmare, they basically need to back up everything now. This is triage time because everything is at risk of being shut down.
You know when the Internet Archive itself is making a contingency plan to move out of the US that things are truly fucked.
The most difficult thing here is any prirotization they end up doing must be kept absolutely secret or you're going to be providing a hit-list to the administration should they ever want one.

- lazerwalker 10y agoI don't think there's direct concrete evidence, but that the Internet Archive themselves just ran a crowdfunding campaign to open a redundant data center in Canada suggests it is something they are worried about.
