  1. As blogged here, all you need is the export_wp function, so run something along the lines of.

    include 'wp-config.php';
include 'wp-admin/includes/export.php';

ob_start();
export_wp();
$file = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

$fh = fopen("wordpress-" . date('Y-m-d') . ".xml", 'w');
fwrite($fh, $file);
fclose($fh);

    Then just grab the .xml file generated!
