It sounds like you installed TWiki through a package... because in the
source installs I've done everything is under a single twiki
directory. In this setup, I just back up the entire thing from the
top - one of the nice things about TWiki's file-based approach.
Assuming a 4.x install (may apply to 3.x and earlier, but I haven't
had much experience with those), your two absolutely critical folders
for backup are 'data' and 'pub' plus lib/LocalSite.cfg which contains
your config.
If the paths of the package don't make sense, I recommend looking in
LocalSite.cfg or visiting the config webpage (site.com/twiki/bin/
configure) and then expanding the "General path settings" section. In
there, you'll find "DataDir" and "PubDir" settings which will point
you to the correct Unix paths so you'll know what to back up.
You'll probably also want to be conscious of bin/LocalLib.cfg since
that's what ties TWiki to a library path on your OS. If you've
installed plugins or templates, then that's probably going to extend
the list of things that need to be backed up.
