Where and how were the ancient Greek texts preserved between the period of their writing and the time when they were found and translated by the Arabs?

Whilst it does not exactly answer your question, I believe this comment would be good to dissipate the myth of Greek texts being found and translated.

Here is the thread with the comment by u/KiwiHellenist

Despite not answering your question, at the bottom there is a link to a blog about Greek text preservation that was infact written by Kiwi too which will be helpful.
