Dear list,
dear chad,
dear Platonides,
sorry for the delay!
The Special:Export sounds complicated to me if I want to backup all
pages since I have to give all the pagenames. Do I not see the global
solution?

Hej list,
I want to backup mediawiki on webserver w/o shell, I learned that
mw_tools.zip from
allwiki.com should be my friend.
Unfortunately
allwiki.com is down and I don't know any other source.
Do you know an alternative download?
Another way of backing up without shell-access?
Thank you in advance!
regards Holger
Do you have access by ftp? phpmyadmin?
Make a database dump with phpmyadmin and download the uploaded files by ftp.
I hesitate to do so because I'm not sure about the Character_set and I
don't want to cramp the database if it is latin1.
Until now I couldn't find the place in phpmyadmin to determine the
Character_set reliable.
Any hints?
