Forum:Images backup

According to Database download, a tar file with all the images should be found in http://images.wikia.com/he.judaism.wikia.com/images/images.tar

Am I using the wrong URL? (Note that the XML dump does work (here).

How Often?
How often are the image backups collated into .tar's? Monthly? Weekly? ...daily seems unlikely.

As of now (Aug 22, 07) the image .tar for my wiki cuts off at Aug 5th. The Database download page doesn't include any info about how often these archives are updated (I gather that at least some point int he recent past the answer has been "Never, oops!") And is there a way to TELL how recently the image archives have been updated? My method was... inelegant.

Also- the database backup page is currently directing users to the archives on www.wikia.com for the XML backups-- those archives seem to have nothing more recent than July 2. The version on wikistats.wikia.com is up-to-date however. Are the www.wikia.com db backups just deprecated? I don't want to simply remove the old link if it's supposed to be working... -Derik11:15, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
