Hi John
dumpBackup isn't a full wiki backup.
Sounds like script is timing out. Did you look at the data with an xml tool to see if all
articles are in the file. Could be a time out on upload too. Most host have a max
execution time.
Just use a command line MySQL dump of the database on your local. Then a command line SQL
restore on the host. Makes backups and moving db easy.
If you don't have a command line there are other methods to run a full backup and
move db. XCloner V3.3 stand alone will do website files and db or one or the other.

Is there any software or php script that will allow for a complete back
up and reinstallation of the entire site to a new site on another
physical server in another location. I'll look at the xCloner but
seeking other suggestions. I do not want to use the mysql dump of the
old database to do this. That database is VERY old and has way too much
cruft in it from mediawiki upgrades & extension upgrades that have gone
on for several years. I just want to move the articles to the new
server.
Thnaks!
