You could modify dumpBackup.php to work as a web script.
It would be something like this:
<?php
define('MEDIAWIKI',true);
$IP = realpath( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/..' ) );
require_once( "$IP/includes/AutoLoader.php" );
require_once( $IP.'/includes/Defines.php' );
require_once("$IP/LocalSettings.php");
include "backup.inc";
$dumper = new BackupDumper( array() );
$dumper->reporting = false;
$dumper->dump( WikiExporter::CURRENT, $textMode );
It will be very large, take too much memory, too much time...
Daily crontab dumps would be a much better system.
