Internet Archive is amazing, and vulnerable: It's a single entity in a single jurisdiction unfriendly to this kind of effort. Are there efforts to duplicate it? For the book side - and some magazines, there is libgen and such. Is there something for the web side? music, photos, software? Any current effort by Internet Archive themselves?
A quick look now at archive.org didn't find much.
A hint that "partner institutions" can maintain local copies. Some which might be "one-off" copies, not maintained up to date.
There was an IA.BAK project.
