I am running a replica of a media wiki (not the images though but I guess I could do that too with a cron job) I use mysqldumper to make a dump and put it on the other server and run a cron job there to restore the dump into the other database. works fine.

Is there a way/tool/application to replicate a MediaWiki server to other servers? I'd like to be able to have local copies of a MediaWiki at several locations, in the event some locations become unreachable. The updates to the wiki wouldn't be too frequent, so I wouldn't have to worry much about a sync taking place during an update. In fact, I'd be ok doing a nightly sync.
Any help would be great.
Thanks!
So, the entries in the MediaWiki are stored in mysql, and the attachments are stored in a directory? If it were a flat filesystem for everything, and rsync would do the trick since it would only pick up the changes. This would also allow bi-directional updates.

You could use sqlite for the database, then you could just rsync.
