Howdy!

I am using TWiki for my team now. My team is using TWiki for our project, and it is small size group.

My TWiki information is like the following: This site is running TWiki version TWiki-5.1.0, Sat, 20 Aug 2011, build 22128, Plugin API version 1.4

I haven't added any plug-ins, but backup/restore plug-in. So, it is totally vanila TWiki (Even don't use skin).

My team members want and are using TWiki without registration. I selected "None" for log-in manager at "Configuration Script" menu. So, anyone can edit any topic.

However, I can't login as admin when I want to run backup. we want to back up our wiki everyday. So, I change configuration to use "LoginManager::Template Login" manually every time when I am doing back up. After back up, I return the configuration to "LoginManager::None" manually.

Is there any way I can login or use login menu even if I am using "LoginManager::None"??

Thank you.

Discussion and Answer

Two options:

1. Create a cron job to do the backup for you as described in BackupRestorePlugin.

2. Add a second TWiki installation on same server pointing to the same data (twiki/data, twiki/pub, twiki/working) but different URL, and do backup with template login on that one.
