Many thanks to everyone involved.
Also, in case it's of use to anyone I have a copy of the enwiki-20080103-pages-meta-history.xml dump in 7z form. Is that the backup that's beeing referred to or is it in fact 20081003?

Thankfully due to an awesome volunteer we'll be able to get that 2008 snapshot in our archive. I'll mail out when it shows up in our snail mail.

I'm thrilled. Big thanks to Tim and Tomasz for pulling this off. For the record the 2008-10-03 dump existed for a short while only. It evaporated before wikistats and many others could parse it, so now we can finally catch up from 3.5 (!) years backlog.

New full history en wiki snapshot is hot off the presses!
It's currently being checksummed which will take a while for 280GB+ of compressed data but for those brave souls willing to test please grab it from
http://download.wikipedia.org/enwiki/20100130/enwiki-20100130-pages- meta-history.xml.bz2
and give us feedback about its quality. This run took just over a month and gained a huge speed up after Tims work on re-compressing ES. If we see no hiccups with this data snapshot, I'll start mirroring it to other locations (internet archive, amazon public data sets, etc).
For those not familiar, the last successful run that we've seen of this data goes all the way back to 2008-10-03. That's over 1.5 years of people waiting to get access to these data bits.
I'm excited to say that we seem to have it :)
