It's been brought up before but it's worth remembering -
Depending on waybackmachine is fine for now, but a single point of failure to lose everything isn't much better than no backup at all. Always back up locally, to multiple mediums, and use your remote backups as a last resort.
Probably the wrong place to ask, but does archive.org backup everything multiple times? The amount they have saved is absolutely nuts. They depend on donations and i just wonder if content they have had for awhile is still backed up to newer harddrives after a few years?
It says they duplicate and backup all files at various locations: https://help.archive.org/help/archive-org-information/
