[pmwiki-users] How to backup a pmwiki

[William Langford]

I rsync the entire pmwiki directory to another server every few hours.

My local/config.php has several

if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'foobar')

Things in it for changing things such as

$WikiTitle so you know it's backup
$ScriptUrl because you're at a diff http:// now
$PubDirURL see above
$DefaultColor skin change so it's obvious you're viewing a backup

I also have it set $DefaultPasswords['edit'] to something weird instead 
of AuthUser based id's etc so folks don't try to edit the backup that is 
just gonna get obliterated constantly anyway.

Depending on cookbooks and other things installed - php version 
differences and installed modules could bite you in the ass, be careful.
