- To backup the SQL database
mysqldump -u <username> -p<password> <nameofyourdatabase> > wikidb-backup-<yymmdd>.sql gzip -9 wikidb-backup-<yymmdd>.sql
(for us, username is wikiuser and nameofyourdatabase is wikidb; yymmdd is what it always is).
- To create a backup of the web directory, login as wiki and then
cd /www/html/w tar cvzf web-backup-<yymmdd>.tar.gz *
