Fullsiterestore

While looking for a quick and reliable way to get complete working backups, I stumbled over these shell scripts. They were originally designed for Drupal, but can easily adapted for use with MediaWiki.

Fullsitebackup creates a complete backup of the files of an MediaWiki installation and of its database. Fullsiterestore restores both. Also, the scripts can be used to migrate an MediaWiki installation from one to another host.

Please note that these scripts have some limitations, have some security risks, and are not tested thoroughly.

To do: Testing; handling of charsets; handling of innodb tables and lots more.
