Just backup extensions directory.

I have neglected to keep a list of which extensions are installed on my mediawiki instance. I run it on Apache on my host and have configured my backups with an old tool called backup-manager, where I specify which databases to backup from my db instance, and which directories on my file system.

Can I backup my extensions directory and then just restore it simply into the right place when doing a restore, in order to re-install all my extensions?

Thanks

Yes, assuming you backed up the other things you need (LocalSettings.php, skins etc) that would be a way to resurrect your extensions.
