I was attracted to MediaWiki because of TurnKey's package of MediaWiki with a minimal OS. This avoids licensing another Windows instance without taking on the entire learning curve of Linux.
I've bumped up against Unix and Linux from time to time in my career; but I'm far from proficient. So the simplicity of TurnKey's SW appliance was and is appealing.
But the learning curve steepens drastically when it comes to backing up. The MediaWiki help page offers this whopper: "Most of the critical data in the wiki is stored in the database, which is typically straightforward to back up."
MediaWiki is simple to install, and simple to use. Please, can someone make backing up my work just as easy? Thanks!
