MediaWiki back up

Sorry, this is a run on from my previous question here (now archived) but I wondered if there was a relatively simple way of doing the above? I mean, I'd really like the answer to be something in the realms of "Yeah, copy the folders to an external" or something; but things are rarely that easy  :) and i'm prepared to not understand the answer. But any advice would be greatly appreciated! Happy Friday, all. ——SN54129 11:04, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Is this (mw:Manual:Backing up a wiki) any use? - X201 (talk) 11:29, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Well, yes, X201, thanks  :) it rather says complicatedly what I hoped could be spelt out more simply! Have a good weekend! ——SN54129 12:00, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
