This is a plugin for DokuWiki which enables you to backup the most important parts of your site; this includes all of your pages, all old revisions, meta data, subscriptions, media files (your downloads), as well as your plugins and templates.
Search and install the plugin using the Extension Manager. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.
As with any data backup tool, there is always a possibility for unintentional data loss. As per the plugin's license, no warranties are given. Use and download at you own risk.
To access the plugin, make sure you're on the admin account, and click the admin button on your wiki site.
An entry named “Backup Tool” should be listed in the the available administrative tasks. Click it, and you will see a list of components to backup.
Simply check the items you wish to backup, and uncheck the ones you don't. For instance, you may not care about old revisions of documents, so you don't have to include them if you don't want to.
Click the Create Backup button, and the process of backing up starts. For large sites, it may take some time; it may even time out– in which case you may wish to backup each section individually– though this is unlikely. It will usually take at least a little time for the page to respond, so please be patient.
The backup file is generated and put in your media directory. So you're then able to download it from there, and you may wish to delete it afterwards.
It is important to secure the backup namespace by ACLs otherwise your backup files can be downloaded by anyone
