Back up Wiki page detaiuls in Ubuntu Linux

[rajnarasimhan]

Hi,
I run a ubuntu linux server which is been equipped with Wikipage, bugzilla and eclipse sub version. I would be grateful if anybody could help me out in taking a back up for wiki and bugzilla only from my server.
thanking you in advance,
Raj..

do u know how the wiki stores the data? Is it in a database, if so, what type? or in flat files?

If it's a mysql database, you can backup the whole database with the following command (assuming "user" is a valid mysql user, that has access to the database and "database" is the name of the database you are backing up)

mysqldump -u user -p database > database.sql

That will dump the database into a file in the current working directory into a file called database.sql.

If it's flat files, you can back the whole wiki up by tarring it into a tarball. simply cd to the directory the wiki files folder is in then do:

tar czvf wiki-backup.tar.gz ./wiki-folder/*

(assuming the folder all the files are in is called wiki-folder, and that will create a file called wiki-backup.tar.gz containing all the wiki's files.
