I am running a replica of a media wiki (not the images though but I
guess I could do that too with a cron job) I use mysqldumper to make a
dump and put it on the other server and
run a cron job there to restore the dump into the other database. works
fine.

The updates to the wiki wouldn't be too frequent, so I wouldn't have to
worry much about a sync taking place during an update. In fact, I'd be
ok doing a nightly sync.

So, the entries in the MediaWiki are stored in mysql, and the
attachments are stored in a directory?
If it were a flat filesystem for everything, and rsync would do the
trick since it would only pick up the changes. This would also allow
bi-directional updates.
You could use sqlite for the database, then you could just rsync.
