How can I download a complete site for archiving or copying over to a test system?
Description
This recipe will add an action (?action=dump) which will trigger a download of a Backup-$WikiTitle-<timestamp>.tar.gz file.
It will obviously only work with *X systems that allow passthru("tar ...") function calls.
Installation
Copy sitedump.phpΔ into your cookbook folder and add
include_once("cookbook/sitedump.php"); to your config.php
Configuration
(no configuration required)
Usage
On any arbitrary page, issue $pagename?action=dump and save the .tar.gz file in the subsequent file download dialog.
You can also add an entry to Site/PageActions like * %item rel=nofollow%[[{*$FullName}?action=dump | Backup ]]
Notes
To avoid unauthorized use, the recipe requires admin access on SiteAdmin/SiteAdmin. If the required authorization level is not met, the page is simply reloaded without a password prompt. So no unauthorized person will be able to guess if the ?action=dump is implemented or not.

In order to make the recipe truly portable across systems, you may want to expand the passthru("tar -czf - *"); call into something more elaborate as described in http://www.binarytides.com/how-to-create-tar-archives-in-php/.
