Welcome to the Joomla SEO Club and Book

A few weeks back we asked the question, "How do you backup your sites?"

Copying the database is easy, with the help of the Jombackup Daily MySQL Backup Bot but safely backing up and restoring the files has always been much more difficult.

We've tried every component available without finding one that works satisfactorily - until now. Joomla! Pack is a simple upload-and-click component from Nicholas K. Dionysopoulos. What we particularly like about it is that it comes with an installer which makes moving or reinstalling sites from backup very easy indeed.

A very worthy Extension of the Month!

Could not make it work on FF and IE. It just frees on collecting file list to pack.

Been waiting for this one...

I am looking for a migrating tool. I think that this one is promising, but comes with no instructions. Creating the backup file is intuitive, I got that far. Now I am wondering how to install that backup file into another joomla installation.

Hi Jeremy

If you upload the files to the new host, there should be a modified version of the installation package inside. Go throught the normal install process and your old site will be back up and running.
