Yes well, let's hope that doesn't happen very often... In fact, just as a precaution, here's a backup of the entire KeenWiki (734MB) should anyone feel like keeping an extra copy, just in case the server goes missing and I lose all my nightly backups and my off-site backups too. (The file that contains login details and e-mail addresses is encrypted for obvious reasons.)

As a bonus, if you download this file you'll get a copy of every single mod that has been uploaded onto the KeenWiki servers (mostly thanks to the hard work of Flaose.)

See, now wikis need a way to generate a backup like that for download. I've been keeping a running backup going and it's not even half the size of that file.

Well to be fair most of the size is the mods and other downloads. The actual text content is only ~80MB which compresses down to 10MB.

The MediaWiki software used for the KeenWiki does have an export facility but it is a little slow, and it's text only - no images or downloads.

I've been saving things as .mht files.
