I saw this post and I was curious what was out there.

Id like to put my lab servers to work archiving US federal data thats likely to get pulled - climate and biomed data seems mostly likely. The most obvious strategy to me seems like setting up mirror torrents on academictorrents. Anyone compiling a list of at-risk data yet?
https://wiki.archiveteam.org/
they have an automatic VM that dowloads stuff in distributed manner and uploads to archive.org
archive.org is hosted in the US and could end up being a valid target. It doesn't strike me as being a very good place to securely store anything nowadays. I'd consider anything hosted in the US to be out.
Depends on the threat model.
NOAA and others gets underfunded/change of menagement and need to close down open access to stuff.
or
Data becomes illegal to possess and feds start knocking on Web Archive doors.
or
Web archive will do something stupid and will get sued/DDOSed
In only one very unlikely scenario it won't be availble due to recent events. But still redundancy would be good regardless of recent stuff.
