Can other instances “back it up” so that the posts submitted to the instances aren’t lost?

    Anything pushed to the “fediverse”, if you will, can’t be lost (except for images and other media). It’s just that once an instance goes down, that instance isn’t available anymore to push out new updates. So if someone replies to a post or comment that belongs to a community that “no longer exists”, then that reply will only exist on the server of the user who posted it.
