Description: After a new backbone is built a new dwc archive of the latest backbone needs to be created and placed under the currently registered endpoint: http://rs.gbif.org/datasets/backbone/backbone.zip

Could be done by the nubchanged checklistbank cli that listens to BackboneChanged already and updates the sources network and nub dataset metadata]]>

It would be nice to have the regular dwca being the fully normalized file with all records.
In addition to that the archive should have 3 extra files for spreadsheet users as this format has been often requested at the gbif helpdesk:
 - the normalized higher taxonomy down to families
 - list of all genera with their denormalised higher classification and familyID pointer
 - list of all species or infraspecific names with denormalized higher classification and genusID pointer

Keep archive and associated log and change files in a folder by date:
/backbone_releases/2015-12-24

Should we use HDFS for storing many copies?

Comment: the CLB admin cli now supports a manual dwca export command. I have used it to manually create a dwca copy of the current backbone and place it here: http://rs.gbif.org/datasets/backbone/ specifically http://rs.gbif.org/datasets/backbone/backbone-2016-04-13.dwca.gz

Comment: As we do not update the nub too frequently this can remain a slightly manual process of exporting the dwca and placing it on rs.gbif.org. The registered symlink http://rs.gbif.org/datasets/backbone/backbone-current.zip should always point to the recent copy
