Currently the files have been copied off of the server onto a backup host, which is the only reason we feel safe about serving them again.
We will be getting a new host (it is due to be shipped soon) which will host the live data. The current server will have a backup copy. That is the short term answer to your question. In the longer term we expect to have a redundant copy elsewhere and cease to rely on dataset1 whatsoever. We are interested in other mirrors of the dumps; see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mirroring_Wikimedia_project_XML_dumps Ariel Στις 15-12-2010, ημέρα Τετ, και ώρα 21:16 +0100, ο/η masti έγραψε: > Good news, but looking form a professional point of view having them > just on array will be leading to such outages. > Any idea to have a tape backup or mirror? > > masti > > On 12/15/2010 08:57 PM, Ariel T.
