-== Backups! ==
-
-To upgrade an existing MediaWiki installation, first BACK UP YOUR WIKI!
-If something goes wrong, you want to be able to start again.
-
-Your image files, configuration, etc can simply be copied or archived as
-you would any other files. (Make sure that the contents of your
-LocalSettings.php are not accidentally made public, as this contains
-a database password.)
-
-To back up the database, use the tools provided by your service provider
-(if applicable) or the standard mysqldump or pg_dump programs.
-
-For general help on mysqldump:
-http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysqldump.html
-
-WARNING: If using MySQL 4.1.x, mysqldump's charset conversion may in
-some cases damage data in your wiki. If necessary, set the charset
-option to 'latin1' to avoid the conversion.
-
-For general help on pg_dump:
-http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/app-pgdump.html
-
-== Caveats ==
-
-=== Postgres ===
-
-Postgres support is new, and much of the upgrade instructions may
-not apply. The schema was changed significantly from 1.7 to 1.8,
-so you will need to at least use the update.php or web installer,
-as described above.
-
-=== Upgrading from 1.4.2 or earlier ===
