I was able to determine why the user was having problems backing up their wiki. The original set of tables that had been corrupted were still in the database. The new set had a prefix which put them after the old ones, so they could be used and accessed but not backed up unless they were specified individually. I’ve advised the user how to dump the tables and copy them to a new database.

MediaWiki backup issues – resolved

Friday, July 18th, 2008We’re still having issues with our innodb backups for mediawiki. It complains that the tables don’t exist, in the same way it did when it was corrupted. However it is displaying data correctly in the wiki.
