 * Where do I put the files "backup.sh", "backup.php", and "import.bat"?
 * Good question. In the root folder of your MediaWiki installation. --Flominator 14:31, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you! --76.65.3.213 23:11, 7 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I have another question. Are the files and database also put into the zip? --76.65.3.213 23:17, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * yes, the database is included and the files LocalSettings.php and the ones in extensions and images. --Flominator 06:58, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. ^_^ By the way, can anyone access the backup.php can do a backup? --76.69.137.242 03:21, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Depends on your configuration, but usually - yes. --Flominator 07:51, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Can they access the zip file also? --76.65.3.32 02:57, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * If it is created below the Document Root (which the script does) - yes. --Flominator 13:56, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

"-u $USER -p$PASSWORD"

 * No, I think it isn't. --Flominator 11:38, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
