I wrote a simple backup action to backup the wiki.d directory zipping
the content in one file you can easyly  download, you can find it at:

http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/BackupPages

The script can be configured to:

1) set the backup directory where the backup files will be put
2) the format of backup file TAR, GZIP, BZIP and ZIP
3) the format of the date that will be append to the wiki nake to form
the name of backup file. You can have USA or European date
4) If to show at the end a link to the backup files so you can
immediatly download it though your browser

The action is not password protected so it wuould be a good idea to
change the name of the action if you want to have the download link to
show up, or anyone will be able to have you wiki copied.

It's a good idea to have a not abvious name for the backup directory.

Any suggestion for improvment is welcome.
