'''LAST BACKUP : 7/7/2006'''

You need to backup two things in order to restore the wiki:

* The wiki mysql database
* The images folder

===Backing up the MySQL Database===

# Open SSH Secure Shell
# Login to the Hades server (see administrator)
# Type:<pre>mysqldump -h localhost -u [USERNAME] -p -B mewiki > mewiki.sql</pre>
# Zip the database file:<pre>gzip mewiki.sql</pre>
# FTP to the directory containing the mewiki.sql.gz file and download to a safe place
# Delete the mewiki.sql.gz file from the server.

===Restoring the MySQL Database===

# Upload the mewiki.sql.gz file to the Hades webserver
# Unzip the file:<pre>gunzip -xf mewiki.sql.gz</pre>
# Insert the database:<pre>mysql -h localhost -u [USERNAME] -p mewiki < mewiki.sql</pre>
# Enter the password for the mysql database
# Delete the mewiki.sql from the server.

===Backing up the Images Folder===

# Navigate to the wiki directory (./wiki)
# Tar the images folder: <pre>tar -cf images.tar images</pre>
# Zip the file:<pre>gzip images.tar</pre>
# FTP download the file images.tar.gz to a safe place.
# Delete the images.tar.gz file from the server.
