Hi everyone, As far as I can tell from the http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/Backup_procedures page, backups are still not sorted out.. Image backups are not available and even the AWS datasets haven't been updated as promised (http://aws.amazon.com/datasets/2506).
Glancing at the Wikimedia foundation financial report, the money is there, staff are being hired and there are lots of projects going on. I wonder what should be done to give this a higher priority?
