Backup

In the early days of the project, a Tiki Backup (tiki-backup.php) feature was added.

It worked but this is inherently unsafe because it's like performing surgery on yourself. It was progressively removed from the menus and then from the application. In Tiki 4.0, there are no traces left.

Alternatives:
Use phpmyadmin or mysqldump instead as described at doc:Backup.


Or even better, use doc:TRIM, dev:TRIM (TikiWiki Remote Instance Manager), a combination of shell and PHP scripts to install, update, backup, restore and monitor (check security of) a large number of TikiWiki installations (instances).

Keywords

The following is a list of keywords that should serve as hubs for navigation within the Tiki development and should correspond to documentation keywords.

Each feature in Tiki has a wiki page which regroups all the bugs, requests for enhancements, etc. It is somewhat a form of wiki-based project management. You can also express your interest in a feature by adding it to your profile. You can also try out the Dynamic filter.
