[pmwiki-users] Farm Setup Advice

I've recently started using PMWiki to store notes, both for home, and at
work. I decided to separate the two using farms. This allows me to
maintain my work wiki on a local PC, and then sync it to a server, where
I also store my personal wiki. Thus I can access both wikis from the
server. This also provides a way to create another create a separate
work wiki if I ever switch jobs.
I also have a public wiki on the same server.
My current setup (simplified) is:
\pmwiki
\wiki.d --public wiki
\local
\pub
\personal wiki
\wiki.d
\local
\work1 wiki
\wiki.d
\local
I access the 'farm' wikis (personal and work1) using redirected subdomains.
1] I'd like an easier way to backup the server, and a way to prevent the
wiki directories 'cluttering' the higher level directories.
Currently I'd have to change the backup routines if I add another farm.
That's easy, but experience tells me that backups get forgotten, or
moved to 'get around to it' mode.
Something like:
\pmwiki
\farms
\public
\wiki.d --public wiki
\local
\personal
\wiki.d --public wiki
\local
\work1
\wiki.d --public wiki
\local
\local
\pub
That would let me set the backups on \farms, and I'm set. Of course this
way I'd still have to update the .htaccess if I added a farm, but I
figure that I'd have to do that anyway.
Is this setup possible?
2] Is there any way to setup searching across selected farms? I'd like
to be able to search work and personal together, but keep public separate.
