The advantage to this is that backing up the wiki is a simple, self contained operation - you simply shut down the VM and copy the files somewhere. Conversely, restoration is easy too - if you mess it up, simply shut down the virtual machine and copy the files back over from your backup.
Running in a VM is also great if/when the wiki becomes more important - it’s trivially easy to run the VM on server hardware going forward, using either the VMWare Player or a proper ESX deployment.

I have no privileges to install or run anything on the server. Would this still work?
