This UPGRADE.txt file is a command-line syntax reminder for
experienced PmWiki administrators.  For full documentation on

The examples assume your PmWiki site is in a ./pmwiki/
directory (a directory named "pmwiki" immediately below the
working directory).

Backing up (always a good idea!):

  tar -zcvf ~/pmwiki-backup.tar.gz pmwiki
  zip -9r  ~/pmwiki-backup.zip pmwiki

Or, to keep backups organized by date:

  tar -zcvf ~/pmwiki-site-`date +%Y%m%d%M`.tar.gz pmwiki
  zip -9r  ~/pmwiki-site-`date +%Y%m%d%M`.zip pmwiki
