Because we have recently had some exciting glitches in some of the servers we haven't had a spare available to run the public backup dumps on without risking harming performance of the site. When our database administrator is comfortable tasking a machine for it (hopefully this weekend when traffic is lower) it'll get done. Doing full dumps of all the wikis takes quite a while, and the machine they run on isn't available for load balancing until the dumps are complete _plus_ the additional time it takes to catch up on all the changes made in the meantime. Separately, I'm working on an update system that will be able to pull current-page updates from the wiki starting from a prior dump with a minimum of fuss. That should be in preliminary beta testing within the next couple of weeks, and if it's working well we can probably open that up soon for general use. - -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)
