Well running the following works:

wget --mirror --convert-links --html-extension http://wiki.tass-survey.org/

However it takes quite some time (~1.5 hours) but it does work. The only
down side is that it retrieves not just the current, but every version of
each page, so it ends up downloading 22Meg.

I don't think it's good for backup purposes, but is useful for making an
offline copy.

Is this going to be a frequent request? If so I can get the box to create
a tar.gz of this as part of the daily backup job?
