And what about the database?
I like LVM snapshotting for databases, but that takes some planning and
you have to stop the database. However your mysqlbackup are actually
very unsafe because I know for certain that Mediawiki uses Innodb
tables. mysqlbackup does not guarantee a lock (I forget the actual
details of the issue) for Innodb so your backup could be crap. Chances
are you'd be fine on a database that isn't very busy, but don't get in
the habit of doing it that way.
