Toni Weisskopf, editor of Baen, did warn people on Baen's Bar to make backups of their stuff several days prior to the changes to the Baen Free Library and the catalogue about a week or two ago, just before the BFL was gutted and the older monthly bundles had to be repriced due to some of the original selections being no longer available and some of the old purchase downloads disappeared due to author/agent demanding yanking of all the files.
So I suspect that for the things which are still left for now, the initial purge has been done and your copies of the stuff that's still available via the store should still be safe for a little longer so you don't have to go spree-downloading for panic backups throughout the weekend.
But certainly it's going to have to be a holiday project for many of us.
