All of these copies are independent from each other and also from their

But the server themselves store only a limited subset from the UseNet

it isn't in the database of the UseNet servers anymore.

  Yeah, that's pretty accurate.
 My recent podcasts include "natural infinities", "natural continua",
"continuous media", "continuous manifold(s)".

 These gigabytes of videos have that my tens and tens of thousands
of plain-text posts fit, fully, in less than one of them.
 

I made copies of content for soe time many years ago.
I copied the content in a very difficult way into an Acess-Database.
But many other people could have used other means to copy UseNet content into software like 'hamster' or others.
In effect UseNet content cannot ever be removed from 'existence', because you cannot identify all copies and cannot even know, whether or not those would exist.
