Backup for All The Tropes
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I would like to request a backup of All The Tropes be done. Preferably a current revision only backup, and also a full one one for images, one for all other data, for eventual upload to archive.org.

I would prefer the current revision only dump for my own use for localhost testing and development reasons, but the other two are for reasons of safety, since the latest version of ATT currently backed up on Archive is the 2014 Orain version.

Event Timeline

@Arcane21 Please note that there already is a more recent backup (https://archive.org/details/allthetropes20170506.xml) . I will take care of another backup as soon as I get a chance.

Please note that the recent issues (503s) are not threatening the data as they are issues with the cache or MediaWiki servers not database, and we also have regular backups of all wikis.

That's a relief. An image backup still would not be a bad idea as well when you do so, but it is a relief to see the 2014 backup is not the only one.

Also, wasn't really concerned about the 503's, figured Miraheze staff was already working on that, was more concerned about having a more recent dump of content lying around for archival purposes.

I'll do it as soon as the errors are definitively resolved, as I don't want to risk putting any high loads on servers.
