Novice user needs help backing up Wiki site

 * MediaWiki version: Don't know how to find this out
 * PHP version: Don't know how to find this out
 * MySQL version: Don't know how to find this out
 * URL: Intranet site

Dear colleagues,

I have been ordered to back up a Wiki site used internally on my employer's intranet site.

I found the following link to back up a Wiki :

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Exporting_all_the_files_of_a_wiki

And a link on this page taking me here :

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:AllPages

Can anyone advise on what I need to fill in on this link? It asks for "Display pages starting at:" and "Display pages ending at:". What do I put in these fields? I tried inserting the url for my wiki site but this did not work.

Unfortunately I have no knowledge whatsoever about Mediawiki so have no idea how to back it up. None of the terminology means anything to me. I don't even know how to find out which version of Mediawiki I'm using! Any help appreciated.

 * To find out the version of MediaWiki that you're using, go to Special Pages in your wiki and then choose the page Version. To backup your database, check Manual:Backing up a wiki. Hamilton Abreu 19:39, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
