[Mediawiki-l] Method for Backup whole system

The simplest backup process is to dump the whole database to SQL by using
this command-line script:

"Path to mysqldump.exe" -u"db username" -p"db user password" "database name"
> "Path to Name of filedump.sql"

To import the same file back again use this command-line script:

"Path to mysqldump.exe" -u"db username" -p"db user password" "database name"
< "path to name of dumped file"

Just drop the quotation marks but keep the < & >.

It can take some time depending on your db size but it dumps everything.
Remember this is just your data all config files should be backed up as per
normal system file backups.

Good Luck
Trevor

Hi,
what is a good method to backup the whole system (DB, Images, Configs,
DB-Users, Wiki-Users...)?
dumpBackup.php does only an export of the wiki-content. What other data is
needed to backup the system and how can this be done?
Regards
Stefan
