Not exactly the same thing, but there is a set of grabber scripts
designed to get and import an entire wiki via the api, but these are
currently mostly just mw maintenance and a few python scripts that only
expect to be used with an actual second mediawiki instance.
That being said, it probably would be a good idea to rearchitect them to
be a bit less redundant with each other, and in so doing also make their
usage a tad more flexible anyway, such as for creating dumps and backups
instead. Whatever the case, at very least they might make a useful
reference point.

Unfortunately that doesn’t really work unless it’s a fairly small wiki. If
it’s bigger the export request times out.
What I was hoping for was a tool that utilizes either special export or the
API to build a dump file using multiple requests.
I can probably write something to do the same thing, but was hoping for an
existing solution

XML export if enabled should do the trick.

that doesn’t require direct database access? My primary focus is on
creating a backup of the wiki contents.
Thanks
