problem backing up wiki (mysql based)

Hi,

I recently upgraded our wiki to mw-1.18.1. It uses a mysql database.

As part of our backup script I run the following command:

php /var/www/html/wikidir/maintenance/dumpBackup.php
--full > $DBDIR/mysqldb-contents-$DATE.xml

This gives the following error since the upgrade:

PHP Notice: Undefined property: BackupDumper::$revStartId in
/var/www/html/mediawiki-1.18.1/maintenance/backup.inc on line 213

2012-04-23 23:05:03: wikidb (ID 15586) 37 pages (461.9|461.9/sec
all|curr), 100 revs (1248.4|1248.3/sec all|curr), ETA 2012-04-23
23:05:03 [max 365]
<snip>

Then it proceeds with the backup.

How can I get rid of the Undefined property.

Thanks,

Tony

This was fixed in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/3721
You will need to apply that patch manually. I have added it for 1.19 in
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/5926

PS: Remember that dumpBackup.php doesn't perform a full backup of the
whole wiki, only of the wiki pages.

That's ok. I backup the database and the rest of the wiki separately
as well.

Thanks,
