I have updated the wiki backup scripts distributed with relax for the
new SourceForge infrastructure:
https://sourceforge.net/p/nmr-relax/code/ci/30c0aaf44f273093aad218b51b8fef25678237f8/tree/devel_scripts/wiki_ftpdump.sh
https://sourceforge.net/p/nmr-relax/code/ci/30c0aaf44f273093aad218b51b8fef25678237f8/tree/devel_scripts/wiki_mysqldump.sh
These are the devel_scripts/wiki_filedump.sh and
devel_scripts/wiki_mysqldump.sh script in the repository. For running
as a cron job, these will require an SSH key swap for passwordless log
into the SourceForge servers.
Note that the strategy for the MySQL dump is quite different, as it
cannot be done remotely and SourceForge do not have a cron service
available to projects. So a remote dump on the SourceForge server is
performed via SSH, the dump files subsequently rsynced locally, and
then the dump files are deleted on the server.
The FTP dump is also different, as rsync must be used instead. So the
file has been renamed to devel_scripts/wiki_filedump.sh.

Edward
