The database yes. For images there is as-needed caching in Amsterdam and Korea, but my understanding is that the only complete copies of the file store all live in Florida. On a related point, replicated mirrors deal well enough with acts of God (e.g. if a meteor hits the data center in Florida), but because everything is live mirrored it doesn't deal well if the server is accidentally instructed to delete something. That erroneous instruction would be carried to all the mirrors as well, and you might really lose something before the links could be severed. We really need to have periodic stored backups in addition to the replicated mirrors. -Robert Rohde _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
