Fullsitebackup

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 be adapted for use with MediaWiki.

Fullsitebackup creates a complete backup of the files of a MediaWiki installation and of it's database. Fullsiterestore restores both. Also, the scripts can be used to migrate a 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.
