Type the following commands to create the backup directory and back up your attachments:
# mkdir ~/deki_backup # cd /var/www/dekiwiki/ # tar cvzpf ~/deki_backup/attachments.tar.gz /var/www/dekiwiki/attachments
Enter the following commands to back up the files that MindTouch Deki uses to determine settings:
# cp /var/www/dekiwiki/LocalSettings.php ~/deki_backup
# cp /etc/dekiwiki/mindtouch.deki.startup.xml ~/deki_backup
# cp /etc/dekiwiki/mindtouch.host.conf ~/deki_backup
Note: If you have any site modifications such as custom skins, CSS, or resource file modifications, they must be backed up now as well and restored after the upgrade.
