Hello,

The issue we faced has been resolved
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T387833#11267438>, we'll be syncing a
manageable amount of files and the local backup process has been simplified
<https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/cookbooks/+/1194949> to ensure
less downtime.
We plan to run the next switchover tomorrow Oct. 13th at 9:00 UTC
<https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Deployments&wvprov=sticky-header#deploycal-item-20251014T0900>
.


Thank you all for your patience.
