The ~ directory is ~620 MB : it contains wiki + forums.
We need the modified version of mediawiki to handle the global users
for both wiki and forums.
The mysql database should not be very big.

I suggest dumping the database, put it in ~ and create an archive with
~. You could scp the archive, to backup everything.

We could also made an automatic backup over the internet, from one
server to another, by making mysql dump and using ssh keys;
we could make a backup every 5 days or something. I think that an
automatic backup is the best solution.

We can keep always the last two backups on the server where the backup
is done; in that way, I'm quite sure we will not risk loosing data if
something worse happends.
