+====== Making a backup ======
+===== Tips =====
+  * Everytime that a configuration file is edited, make a symlink to it from a configuration backup directory.
+  * Backup the configuration backup directory, your homes, /usr/local, /var, using rdiff-backup. Check for /opt and /srv .
+===== Using netcat (nc) =====
+==== Restoring the backup ====
+  * In client:
+  nc -l -p 6666 | zcat > /dev/your_harddrive
+  * In server:
+  nc -q 1 ip_client_machine 6666< imagefile.img.gz
+====== Procedure to recover from your backup ======
+===== apache =====
+  * Install apache2. Configure normal.
+  * Install files for dokuwiki, homes and wordpress in /etc/apache2/sites-available
+  * Make the corresponding symlinks to sites-enable
+  * Recover sites-available/default file
+===== dokuwiki =====
+  * Install dokuwiki from debian
+  * Recover all /var/lib/dokuwiki/ back
+  * Recover /etc/dokuwiki/local.php and users.auth.php or something like this.
+  * Recover the plugins to /usr/share/dokuwiki/lib/plugins  . Just copy them there. (It's really only necessary to install translation2 plugin. Which doesn't need any other special configuration.
+===== Wordpress =====
+  * Install wordpress normally
+  * Recover the themes and plugins into /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/
+  * Recover config-blog.memelabs.net.php file to /etc/wordpress/
+===== MySQL =====
+  * Use the same root password during debian installation than the one from old database
+  * Stop mysql-server
+  * Restore mysql original complete database. For some reason if I only restore wordpress database I get a Error establishing a database connection error. Also, if I restore from mysql client I still get inconsistency errors in the database. I had to recover the whole /var/lib/mysql directory
+  * Restore from the backup /etc/mysql/debian.cnf
+  * Restart mysql-server twice (second time, you should not get an error)
