For once, a site that recognizes the importance of third-party backups! They have a main downloads page from which you can get XML dumps from individual wikis (Wikimedia Foundation hosts more than 700 wikis: Wikipedias, Wiktionaries, Wikinews, Wikisources, Wikibooks, Wikiquotes, Wikiversities, Wikispecies, Wikimedia Commons).
You can download all the articles of the English Wikipedia (with complete edit history) in an unique file (compressed in 7zip format) from here (ATTENTION: 31 GB! Unpacked it expands up to 5.2 TB. Direct link: pages-meta-history.xml.7z).
There's an old article dump (2008/03/12) up on the pirate bay, from the archiveteam TPB account. Also, a dump from 2006.
Some Wikipedia dumps in Internet Archive.
There is no current public backup for images uploaded to Wikimedia Commons which has about 8 millions of images.
