So my sister got a broken attachment so I did a little internet searching and found this to decode it

Save the file as a .mim and then use a right click decode.

Backing up your MediaWiki Appliance is Easy



First log into your mediawiki appliance.

To do this you need to go to your https://yourserver:8003

(Notice the https)


Next, go to the Back Up and Restore and then go to Backup Settings. Enable your backups. For backup location I choose to use a 'Windows' File System Share.

Then for connection host use your server, and then for your connection path you need to use forward slash notation.

MCS v.3.6 initialized Java error IBM RSA Card remoting in

Which is not what I wanted, I set it to 'Disabled - Use static IP configuration' and then I could connect, joy!
