Hoi,
At the time it was published that the WMF would not retain old backups. This
had to do with the cost of storage at the time and a lack of perceived value
of these backups.
Thanks,

Hi,
How do I get access to older wikipedia dumps? In particular, I am looking
for the dump from 9/11/2006. Any help is much appreciated.
I had thought all dumps were archived at
download.wikimedia.org - but
clearly not. Internet Archive have some <
http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=enwiki>gt;, but not the specific one
you're looking for. Perhaps one of the techies (eg Greg Maxwell, Domas) keep
historical records? But this would be quite an oversight if there are no
backups on Wikimedia's servers.
Cormac
