I've heard of some people posting about there being a 7TB backup of the entire site that was open to the admins for downloading in the event of a "Neo Batoto" popping up and wanted to confirm if this was the case since  the existence of a full backup would ease the fears and worries from people that certain manga that were only found here would vanish entirely.

Its closer to under 6 tb. And that is just the images in the image server. We are still waiting for a cleaned db from grumpy, probably after the site is down since chapters are still being uploaded.

We aren't fully done downloading our backup yet.

It won't be a full backup of the site, but hopefully we will have all the important stuff minus the user data.

That is all I can say for now. 

We will be in the Batoto discord.

tl;dr discord stuff

there are no plans to release these anytime soon if that's what you were hoping for (even if there were such plans, the backup process got slowed down a lot because of everyone and their mum waking up and trying to read or backup their favourite stuff, and the data still requires to be sorted, filtered, some no-no things removed and approved by grumpeh)
from happier stuff, everything that's in english is available in some form on other aggregators that constantly scrap batoto, there are multiple successor projects in development already (afaik they intend to support multiple languages too), and maybe if there will be need for that the data could be passed to them later (or if they all fail maybe the staff that did backups will reconsider doing something themselves, because atm doing something identical like batoto 2.0 seems like a sisyphean task). torrents and the like are pretty much out of question but I think there's some guy on discord claiming to have scrapped whatever is available publicly on the site so maybe they will release that (though I hope they will do some cropping of stuff that the uploader might have not wished to be shared further, or the self-published stuff that I'm not sure the authors would be happy about losing control over)

I'd like to add that, I have the guy on discord only scrapped the metadata into json. (comics and basic chapter information)

I have passed that along to every major project in development I've come across so far.

One of the staff has finished backing up the images, I haven't.

As of now, NO official data will be released publicly and there are no private plans at the moment.

We still need to sort and go through everything ourselves to double check stuff which will take time.

Sorry if we got your hopes up.

We are not endorsing any of the replacement site projects at the moment!

However, I'd like to point out the two notable ones being worked on so far.
