Forum:Interval of database dumps

I know that wikia has backups of the databases and all that, but I like to keep my own anyway.. The database dumps for the adwr wiki are ~1.5 months old now and I was wondering what the interval for the dumps are. The Database download says every two weeks, but in the 4 months I've been doing stuff here it's been more like a month. I realize there's a ton of wikis and that the system may only be able to do a few a day or something, but it would make me feel better to know more about this. I didn't load up the whole download page, but most of what loaded was June 13th or 16th. There's a similar comment on the Talk page from July 13th. Thanks. --Superlgn 04:35, 28 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I wouldn't normally be on this, but we made a large number of contributions to the wiki in those last 6 weeks that I'd hate to lose. --Superlgn 04:37, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Special:Contact and let them know what wiki you want updated. We're working on a new system to let admins update those dumps as needed, rather then us updating all of them every week. but its taking longer then we liked to get it done. --Uberfuzzy 05:57, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I was the one who left the message on Wikia talk:Database download. I was able to retrieve an updated databade dump through Special:Contact. Just so you know, database dumps does appear to contain the wiki's files or images, so you may have to re-upload them if you're planning to create a fork. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 15:30, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
