Direct dumps would be great but in the mean time this could be used as a stop-gap measure. I would run it regularly and distribute the files but 1) I can't compile it for some reason, and 2) My hard drive isn't big enough.
I have plenty of space, and I have the CPU and bandwidth to do it, as well as the public torrent trackers to host it if necessary. Where is this Wikix tool?
It's probably better to use rsync, that's what we usually use for image backups. It's quite robust, and efficient if used properly. The only trouble with it is the server load -- it would quickly overload the backend if we made it available for public use. Maybe we could set up an rsyncd instance limited by client IP.
