There's a concerted effort across many dataholders (at least /r/dataholders for sure) to make a full site wide backup across at least 3 copies across volunteers machines before it shuts down.

Alongside the backup team, another team is working on the best way to distribute to others after that (magnet links, archive.org, etc.).
