'''Whenever you implement a backup system, you should test that restoring the backup works.'''
-You ''should'' be able to restore your wiki to a new machine by repeating all install steps, then restoring the database and the images directory. However, we backup the entire Mediawiki directory in case you forget to record a step, or some misbehaving code stores some state in a file. Since most people don't record the steps they took to setup Mediawiki, this is also the officially recommended method. Here we restore only the database and images folder, which should help identify any of those aforementioned issues. See [[mediawikiwiki:Manual:Restoring a wiki from backup]] if you run into any problems.
+You ''should'' be able to restore your wiki to a new machine by repeating all install steps, then restoring the database and the images directory. I've done this many times. However, we backup the entire Mediawiki directory in case you forget to record a step or some corner case happens. Since most people don't record the steps they took to setup Mediawiki, this is also the officially recommended method. In the code below we restore only the database and images folder from the full backup. You can try this after setting up a wiki from scratch. If it doesn't work, you know your fresh setup is not replicating your backed up wiki correctly. In that case, you can fall back to doing a full restore by copying the full directory instead of just the images. See [[mediawikiwiki:Manual:Restoring a wiki from backup]] if you run into any problems.
To test a backup restore:
# Do a backup of your wiki with some content in it, as described in the previous section
<source lang="bash" type="example">
#!/bin/bash
source ~/mw_vars
-HOSTNAME=REPLACE_ME source ~/mw_vars
-rdiff-backup -r now ~/backup/${mwdomain}_wiki_file_backup /tmp/wiki_file_restore
-scp -r /tmp/wiki_file_restore/images root@$mwdomain:$mw/images
-rdiff-backup -r now ~/backup/${mwdomain}_wiki_db_backup /tmp/wiki_db_restore
-scp -r /tmp/wiki_db_restore root@$mwdomain:/tmp
