Apparently a new release of DokuWiki, their version 2016-06-26, broke the existing plugin. Luckily a user on github, **dsp777**, was able to come up with a fix for it; so the issue should be resolved, and thanks, **dsp777**. |

| {{::backup.png?nolink}} **[[http://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:backup|BackupTool for DokuWiki]]**\\  |   * Renamed typedefs without ''_t'' postfix notation as this appears to be "reserved" by POSIX (thanks to reddit user "doodle77")  | 
| Created a backup/restore tool for DokuWiki used by the majority of users. |   * Added required includes directly into ''tEndian.h'' (thanks to reddit user "louiswins")  |
