parrera Good evening, I have a dokuwiki installed on a suse 11.0, I will fomat the PC to update it to version 11.4, is there any tips for me to backup data and settings from my wiki and install the latest version of dokuwiki in suse 11.4 after and restore these settings and data? thank's
lupo49 Just copy the entire DokuWiki-Directory to your backup space. (Some directories aren't needed when restoring, but they're not bugging the restore process.) http://www.dokuwiki.org/faq:backup
dokufan66 This would be great time to write a script to back up your wiki! I am not a huge fan of the backup tool, and do my backups with Linux commands. NOTE this does NOT cover MySQL, etc. databases. Basically you want to do this: cd /var/path/to/ tar czf /var/wikibackupdir/wikibackup-20110106.tgz wiki/ then to restore it on the new machine cd /var/path/to tar xzf /var/wikibackupdir/wikibackup-20110106.tgz I wrote a script to run as a cronjob to back up the entire wiki ("/var/path/to/wiki/") weekly, and a "lite" version to back up "/var/path/to/wiki/data/pages/" daily. Use date in your filenames and you're good. Try restoring to another computer (like using Uniform server on a windows laptop) if you'd like before you finally wipe an reload. Good luck!
