I've been looking into that (I'm paranoid about backups). It's not as simple as I'd like, but here's my check list:
- Go to the Special:AllPages page and open each link (3 at the moment) in a new tab
- Copy/paste the list of articles into a text file
- Use a regexp search to replace tab with newline to get a list of articles, one per line
- Copy/paste the list of articles into the Special:Export page
- Hit the Export button
The end result is an XML file that can be imported into another MediaWiki installation. I did this earlier today, and got a 1.5MB file. I've zipped it and attached it to this message so that everyone reading this forum has access to a copy.
