Currently simply do it manually. Not nice, but there is no other 
(proven) way yet.

I am not aware of any removed pages. And even if there were, it wouldnt 
do much harm...

Not having a backup doesnt mean much except that it hasnt been edited 
more than once.

I did some pagescleaner script that removes orphan pages dirs. You can 
get in from the current development version (or search the wiki for it, 
maybe I attached it there, too).

> Delete data/cache/Page.py/*
> Delete data/cache/pagelinks/*

This is no problem as it will be recreated automatically.

Sound quite good.

I simply use midnight commander's compare directory function and then 
manually deselect what should not get overwritten (e.g. FrontPage or 
StartSeite for germans).

And running pagescleaner from time to time is also a good idea anyway.
