Thank you for your answers,  Crisses. I read your message yesterday but I 
actually wish this to be done automatically, without anyone having to 
call .../pmwiki.php?action=copy. 

I'll see if it can be done with register_shutdown_function(), otherwise, I 
have safe_mode so  ignore_user_abort() will not work. Anyway, there will be 
usually one only page to copy per day which is fast, and there is no need to 
ignore_user_abort(), unless there are no visits for months.

Thanks for your kind comments, I'll test it tonight and will tell you if it 
worked.
