As an administrator, you can use the dumpBackup.php script found in the <code>maintenance</code> directory of you MediaWiki installation. Something like the following in a system [[cron]] would be good: |

| + | Another useful tool to the Administrator is the bulk image importer. To import all the screenshots that I used at the start of this presentation, I did the following: | ||
| + | <source lang="bash"> | ||
| + | php importImages.php --user=Freephile --comment='Set of screenshots of sites using MediaWiki [[Category:MediaWiki Sites]]' ~/Desktop/mediawiki/snaps/ | ||

| + | Note how using a Category tag in the comment will automatically place the images in the Category specified. | ||
