IPFS devs commented on IA.bak back then, saying he would write a proposal to store IA.bak on IPFS: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9148576

AFAICT, there was no follow up at the time, according to https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/INTERNETARCHIVE.BAK/i... ; so IA.bak went with git-annex, but it had issues given the scale of the project

It's stunning to me that IA.BAK is sort of dead and that there's no immediate efforts to revive it - losing IA in an earthquake would be unimaginable.

I'd love to donate some of my storage, if there was a project to support it.
