Are there any active efforts to backup e621.net? (zerobytes.monster)

With all of the new legislation being passed in the USA, I fear that sites like e621 may be forced to purge content.

I feel that it's important to back these sites up, not just for the NSFW artwork but because a lot of SFW content is hosted there too, and often is in the highest quality possible.

If it isn't being archived, I can build and run a script on my server. e621.net have been very generous and allow JSON formatted searches and post results without any sort of API key. They advertise having ~8tb of content. I have enough free space to store all of this.
