There isn't
such a tool actually although you can use Special:Export to
extract one article.
last I check this was a "write only backup medium" since I found no way
to suck that single page back in.
Hello,
The Special:Import page isn't finished yet :o)
I personally
use mysqldump other all my databases every 15 days or so
and zip / archive the dumps on an other disk.
I do that daily with my site, keep 6 back "issues" on the server (i.e.
one week) and rsync the last one to my home machine. Better safe than
sorry (and sorry I've been. believe me)
Looks like a safe way. You might even want to burn a cd from time to
time to be even safer :o)
