Stephanie,

I'm also very interested in anything you come up with, or whether anyone has 
additional thoughts on making an "offline" copy. I'm not sure whether my 
situation is similar to yours or not, but I'll explain a few things I've tried 
so far in case it helps either of us.

Short version - has anyone successfully used Wget to mirror an XWiki instance?

What I ultimately would like is an offline archive of an XWiki instance that is 
totally independent of needing a servlet container or database (even 
standalone).

I understand Arnaud's suggestion to use a standalone XWiki instance to create 
an offline backup, but unfortunately that is too complicated for most of my 
users to access.

In my circumstance, I have an XWiki instance that needs to "reset" at the 
beginning of each year, and then need to keep an archive of each full year's 
worth of contributions to the wiki. So I end up with a separate XWiki database 
for each year. This is quickly becoming cumbersome and eating up a lot of 
server resources to keep all of them online.

I would like for an average user to be able to download an "archive" of a 
particular year's wiki instance so I no longer need to host it "live."

One other consideration - almost all of the page content in each wiki instance 
is stored in objects attached to each page that are then retrieved with 
velocity and formatted with javascript. And most pages have a large number of 
attachments.

Things I have tried:

1) HTML/PDF export - Like Stephanie, this doesn't work for me since it doesn't 
maintain navigation or scripting.

2) Standalone XWiki instance - this has proved just too complicated for my 
users. I'd prefer some type of archive in a flat file/HTML format if at all 
possible.

3) Wget - This seems to be the most promising option so far, since it's 
supposed to make a totally offline recursive mirror of the site. My attempts so 
far have been mixed - I can get some of the page content to download, but 
struggle with getting a completely working copy. I've also tried a few other 
"offline archiver" type programs, but none have worked better than Wget. If 
someone has successfully used Wget to mirror an XWiki site, I'd love to hear 
about it.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,

aaron
