IPFS can serve as a backup for local storage and dedicated seeding pools, as it effectively transfers each newly added file to an entire pre-existing network of 300+ peers from the get-go. In such an instance, PeerTube might not necessarily even have to double as a WebRTC-based IPFS node but simply run along side a regular one (which in-itself can be optional), first to ensure the files initially propagate through the network and secondly to provide an optional method for retrieving them through a local gateway. However simply linking to an IPFS address should suffice if it would be possible to configure a PeerTube instance to use external public gateways for retrieval.

In a case where a PeerTube instance should go down with no pre-existing seeding pools in place, as long as the videos are still present on IPFS, it should be possible to retrieve them by simply following each video's address (that presumably was shared beforehand with other federated instances). This way each video will remain accessible and therefor could be later conventionally reseeded via a different instance.

As a by-product, if it'll be possible to authenticate each user's identity, perhaps it might also be possible to use this method for transferring channels between different PeerTube instances.
