Manual talk:Run.php

Not understandable

I am trying to run dumpBackup.php using the run.php. But I can't get it to work. I need a much more clear description of exactly how to run this through a terminal connection. I've tried running it from the main wiki root directory and from the maintenance directory, but nothing happens.

Here is what I tried, based on the directions given for both scripts: .maintenance/run dumpBackup.php --full --quiet > dump.xml

@Trig12: You should use the --output option rather than redirecting stdout. For example:

./maintenance/run dumpBackup \
  --full \
  --quiet \
  --wiki mywiki \
  --server https://mywiki.example.org \
  --output=gzip:mywiki-pages.xml.gz
