Hi Ariel, what is the retention period of the backup data ? We need to know this as when articles are deleted in theory steps should be taken to invalidate the backup sets so data is not retained. This is due to others outside of the wikimedia project using these dumps as archives and publishing the dumps as well.

Once a dump is published it's "out there". Folks upload it to archive.org and perhaps other places. We have dumps we serve as far back as 2002 I believe, kept for historical interest. Currently generated dumps are kept between 6 months and a year, depending on how much space the dumps server has; after that they are removed as new dumps are generated.
