How can I back up a community I mod? (lemmy.sdf.org)

If the instance I started my community on shuts down, then the whole community is gone. Is there anything I can do as a mod to prepare for this so I can transfer everything onto a new instance? Or is everything lost if my instance shuts down?

My suggestion would be to back it up on the Internet archive manually once in a while.
