Hi,

I think there is no secure way how to manage data stored on a disk or in
a database because the design of OS.

As far as I know, there is a just one way how to secure them = setup
your own server where you are the only administrator. (It is overkill, I
know)

An easier solution could be to set an regular update of the files.  Put
backup files to another (secure) machine like your own notebook. Simple
solution:
scp -r user@server:dokuwiki/data backups/`date`

Then you are able to restore your data.

P.S: I think it is paranoid to not believe system admins at your
university. My experience is that admins have more important things to
do and they won't change your data.
