Hoi,
Deleted files AFTER the creation of the "tarballs" were created will always
be part of the tarball. If you create logic that works on these archives,
it is likely that they will also work on the live data at Commons...
MY QUESTION... Yes, it is good to have a backup somewhere. However, what is
the point working on old data when the new data is available?
Thanks,
Gerard
