This got me thinking, how much space would it take up in Lighthaven to print a copy of every lesswrong post ever written? If it’s not too many pallets then it would probably be a worthy precaution.
We have automated backups, and should even those somehow find themselves compromised (which is a completely different concern from getting DDoSed), there are archive.org backups of a decent percentage of LW posts, which would be much easier to restore than paper copies.
There is also GreaterWrong, which I believe caches everything rather than passing through live, so it would be able to restore almost all publicly-visible content, in theory.

Why not just save them to an offline hard drive?

A better way is to download it. See also Preserving and continuing alignment research through a severe global catastrophe
