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?


Concerned wiki editor,
Eugene
