I'd just like to point out that trying to move to a new location in this
pandemic era, especially in a country with (pardon me if I give offense
but) widespread skepticism if not outright resistance to vaccinations, can
be quite risky to one's health or the health of one's families. So I think

The files made available as 'Wikimedia dumps' are not intended to be a full

using these dumps from time to time, though I have not done so recently.
Actual honest-to-goodness backups (database snapshots) are another thing

think that in the context of Wikipedia and related projects, the word

Hi Jimmy,
The articles I've read on the new venture have been like appetizers,
providing just enough information to generate a new list of questions. :-)
So, in no particular order, here are some things that came to mind:

I would not consider the dumps to be backups. They are for purposes of
