How can I back up a community I mod? (self.asklemmy)

If the instance I started my community on shuts down, then the whole community is gone. Is there anything I can do as a mod to prepare for this so I can transfer everything onto a new instance? Or is everything lost if my instance shuts down?

Really only if the owner of that instance did a backup of the database following this here https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/backup_and_restore.html
