Dear list, dear chad, dear Platonides,
sorry for the delay!
The Special:Export sounds complicated to me if I want to backup all pages since I have to give all the pagenames. Do I not see the global solution?

Hej list,
I want to backup mediawiki on webserver w/o shell, I learned that mw_tools.zip from allwiki.com should be my friend. Unfortunately allwiki.com is down and I don't know any other source. Do you know an alternative download?
Another way of backing up without shell-access?
Thank you in advance!
regards Holger
Do you have access by ftp? phpmyadmin?
Make a database dump with phpmyadmin and download the uploaded files by ftp.
I hesitate to do so because I'm not sure about the Character_set and I don't want to cramp the database if it is latin1. Until now I couldn't find the place in phpmyadmin to determine the Character_set reliable.
Any hints?
