And, we want this to be as simple as possible for our loyal administrator, me. I.e., use existing facilities, no cronjobs to run dumpBackup.php (or even mysqldump, which would be giving up too much information) and then offering a link to what they produce.
dumpBackup or mwdumper is waht you will have to use. Creating a dump of a wiki just takes far to long to be done "live" in a http request, for anything but a trivially small wiki -- it will just time out. To re-create the dump for every user is a waste of their time and your resources anyway.
You will not get past a cron job. It's The Right Thing for this task.
