[Mediawiki-l] Database Backup...

[Hans Voss]

Reintegration is difficult, but may be possible, depending on how the
backup was made.
Using a backup to seed a new wiki is possible (as I have done that before).

Possibly you could use that new wiki to generate an XML extract of the
current text of all the articles (using the dumpBackup.php script if I
recall correctly). And import that XML extract back into the running
wiki. At least all the text should be there.

Existing articles will be replaced by the new, imported text, but I
read a comment from Brion once, indicating that the old / original
version will be available in the history.

Good luck.
