00:00:07.358 --> 00:00:11.353
Site Transfer Wizard is a unique 
feature of Akeeba Backup.

2
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:13.897
With it you can copy an entire

3
00:00:14.078 --> 00:00:16.458
 web site from one server to another

4
00:00:16.507 --> 00:00:18.507
without having to download anything to

5
00:00:18.555 --> 00:00:19.808
your own computer.

6
00:00:20.453 --> 00:00:21.785
This is particularly useful

7
00:00:21.965 --> 00:00:23.584
if you have a limited internet connection

8
00:00:24.103 --> 00:00:26.103
or the site is particularly large.

9
00:00:26.333 --> 00:00:27.402
To begin with

10
00:00:27.561 --> 00:00:29.561
click on the Site Transfer Wizard.

11
00:00:30.897 --> 00:00:32.897
Site Transfer Wizard requires you to have

12
00:00:32.897 --> 00:00:34.897
 a recent backup of your site.

13
00:00:35.452 --> 00:00:37.452
You can see I have one here already

14
00:00:38.007 --> 00:00:40.161
but if you don't then a link will be displayed

15
00:00:40.161 --> 00:00:42.161
for you to create one.

16
00:00:43.061 --> 00:00:44.850
You are also prompted with the minimum

17
00:00:44.884 --> 00:00:46.884
disk space required on your NEW server

18
00:00:46.884 --> 00:00:48.884
to transfer the site.

19
00:00:51.049 --> 00:00:53.049
Next enter the URL

20
00:00:53.191 --> 00:00:55.191
to the new site and click on Check.

21
00:00:57.103 --> 00:00:59.103
You  now need to chose one of the available

22
00:00:59.103 --> 00:01:00.365
transfer methods.

23
00:01:00.776 --> 00:01:02.776
I am going to choose FTP.

24
00:01:03.408 --> 00:01:06.233
First I enter the ftp hostname

25
00:01:06.324 --> 00:01:08.324
of my new server.

26
00:01:08.948 --> 00:01:11.424
and then the FTP username and password

27
00:01:19.835 --> 00:01:21.835
And then the actual directory

28
00:01:22.073 --> 00:01:24.073
on the remote site that I am going

29
00:01:24.264 --> 00:01:26.264
to install this web site in.

30
00:01:27.577 --> 00:01:29.577
Now the path can be quite difficult

31
00:01:29.671 --> 00:01:30.840
to get exactly correct

32
00:01:31.604 --> 00:01:33.206
so the easiest thing to do

33
00:01:33.424 --> 00:01:35.424
is to open your FTP program

34
00:01:35.752 --> 00:01:37.752
and copy it from there.

35
00:01:38.891 --> 00:01:40.463
I am using filezilla

36
00:01:40.550 --> 00:01:42.550
but you could use any FTP program.

37
00:01:45.267 --> 00:01:47.267
When I have connected with my FTP

38
00:01:47.501 --> 00:01:49.501
 I can navigate to the site root,

39
00:01:49.938 --> 00:01:52.431
in this case public_html

40
00:01:53.129 --> 00:01:55.613
and take a copy of the actual full path.

41
00:01:57.241 --> 00:01:59.241
I can then return to my web site

42
00:01:59.453 --> 00:02:01.453
and paste it in to ensure

43
00:02:01.467 --> 00:02:03.467
it is exactly correct.

44
00:02:04.924 --> 00:02:06.400
When all that's been entered

45
00:02:06.632 --> 00:02:08.632
we can Proceed with the Installation.

46
00:02:10.379 --> 00:02:12.379
Akeeba Backup is now uploading

47
00:02:12.434 --> 00:02:14.434
a copy of the kickstart program

48
00:02:14.640 --> 00:02:16.246
and transferring the backup file

49
00:02:16.243 --> 00:02:18.243
to your new site.

50
00:02:19.532 --> 00:02:21.245
Depending on the size of your site

51
00:02:21.282 --> 00:02:22.668
this may take some time

52
00:02:23.164 --> 00:02:24.664
and you must keep this page open

53
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:26.719
until it has completed.

54
00:02:27.856 --> 00:02:29.037
Once completed

55
00:02:29.461 --> 00:02:30.842
click to Run Kickstart

56
00:02:30.888 --> 00:02:32.581
and a new browser window will open

57
00:02:33.086 --> 00:02:35.086
to the Kickstart program running

58
00:02:35.086 --> 00:02:36.561
on your NEW site.

59
00:02:37.892 --> 00:02:39.573
We can now complete the restoration

60
00:02:39.606 --> 00:02:41.606
process on the new server 

61
00:02:41.798 --> 00:02:43.798
as shown in the previous video.
