I have my worries about Internet Archive more and more recently.

I'm wondering though is there any decentralized IPFS or P2P Archive of the entire archive that can be helped with for preservation ?

According to the Wikipedia page, it seems that copies of the archive are stored around the world.

LOCKSS is a decentralized strategy for preservation which includes archival copies at remote sites. It has been in use for a very long time. I feel like preservation via IPFS would introduce quite a bit of risk to the goal.
