Do a backup of the database using MySQL Administrator or phpMyAdmin and copy the folder where you installed it somewhere.

If it craps out, just restore the database and the folder.

Haven't had problems doing that.

Hi,

I am running a wiki in my organization with Mediawiki 1.8.2, PHP 5.1.6 and MySQL 5.0.27. I would like to know in some degree of detail, what all we need to back up on this live wiki.

Appreciate any help available.

Best regards, Sindhu Subramaniam
