Redmine

You will find the content of your Redmine wiki in a database, if you used MySQL it can be found and exported with this command:

It can be restored with:

However, I wrote a simple backup script for my entire Redmine installation (and not only the wiki). It looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
timestamp=`date +%Y%m%d_%H%M`

mkdir /usr/backup/tmp$timestamp
rsync -av /etc/redmine /usr/backup/tmp$timestamp/etc_redmine
rsync -av /usr/share/redmine /usr/backup/tmp$timestamp/usr_share_redmine
rsync -av /var/lib/redmine /usr/backup/tmp$timestamp/var_lib_redmine
mysqldump -u redmine -p<yourpassword> redmine_default > /usr/backup/tmp$timestamp/mysqldump.sql

# Compress backup:
cd /usr/backup
tar cjf /usr/backup/redmine/backup_$timestamp.tbz tmp$timestamp/etc_redmine tmp$timestamp/usr_share_redmine tmp$timestamp/var_lib_redmine tmp$timestamp/mysqldump.sql

# Cleaning up:
rm -rf /usr/backup/tmp$timestamp

You can automatically run it with your crontab.

Andre,

Thanks for your answer. I am already backing up the full DB. My problem is specific to the wiki. If I just output the wiki entries from the database. I would loose all the formating. Plus, there would be syntax for repository build references, macro calls and links to other wiki pages throughout the documentation.

Thanks again.

Well, if you look into the table "wiki_content_versions" you will see that there are all entries from your wiki, and they all are formatted the same way as you input them. So copying this table will save their format, too.

But since there are all versions in this table entry, it is quite difficult to get what you really want or need...

Perhaps writing a tool to parse this table and to cherry-pick the entries you really want would come in handy. :D
