Here are basic instructions for adding a script to the Wiki.

1. Get a backupcentral user id if you don't have one, or have your existing user id sent to you.
2. Log in to http://www.backupcentral.com
3. Click on Wiki (to Edit) in the navigation bar. (You have to do this first.)
4. Select this URL: http://www.backupcentral.com/components/com_mambowiki/index.php/Category:Data_Protection_Scripts
5. Click Edit at the top of that page
6. Add an internal link that looks like my Some script link on that page. (It should be the name of the script, followed by a pipe, then some descriptive text.
7. Save your edits (Click Save at the bottom.)
8. Click on the link you made. That takes you to a page already in edit mode. (That's the way you create a new page in a Wiki.)
9. Build the skeleton into which you will place your post:
   1. Add the phrase {{Top Navigation}} as the first line of your post (case does matter, and it should be surrounded by two braces, just like you see here) .
   2. Hit return to put a blank line after the Top Navigation line.
   3. Put <pre><nowiki> as the third line
   4. Put </nowiki></pre> as the last line
10. Cut and paste your script in between the <pre><nowiki> and the </nowiki></pre> lines
11. Save it and view your work.
12. Now you can click Edit again and add some descriptive text in between the {{Top Navigation}} line and the <nowiki><pre> lines. It should tell readers the purpose of the script. Perhaps also add an email link to yourself (just enter your email address, such as curtis@backupcentral.com. It will automatically make it a link. You can also add links to any other scripts that your script requires.
