  • 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 *
