1
00:00:07.830 --> 00:00:09.150
A backup of your web site

2
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:11.400
is only useful if you can restore it

3
00:00:12.520 --> 00:00:14.790
perhaps you need to change your web host

4
00:00:14.879 --> 00:00:16.419
or even move the site

5
00:00:16.415 --> 00:00:17.675
from a development server

6
00:00:17.731 --> 00:00:18.671
to a live server.

7
00:00:20.272 --> 00:00:21.152
To begin with

8
00:00:21.235 --> 00:00:23.235
take a brand new backup of your web site.

9
00:00:29.830 --> 00:00:31.830
Once the backup is complete

10
00:00:32.100 --> 00:00:33.670
go to Manage Backups

11
00:00:34.332 --> 00:00:37.052
and download the backup file to your computer.

12
00:00:40.952 --> 00:00:42.952
Now we've downloaded the backup file

13
00:00:43.012 --> 00:00:44.802
we need an additional program

14
00:00:44.939 --> 00:00:46.029
called Kickstart

15
00:00:46.241 --> 00:00:49.931
which you can find at the 
akeebabackup.com web site.

16
00:00:50.543 --> 00:00:51.783
Go to download.

17
00:00:52.601 --> 00:00:55.981
You will find the akeeba kickstart
here in the backup section.

18
00:00:57.232 --> 00:00:59.399
Kickstart is a standalone program.

19
00:01:00.540 --> 00:01:03.560
Click download to download 
the file to your computer.

20
00:01:05.930 --> 00:01:07.250
Here we can see

21
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:09.470
that the Kickstart program is a zip file

22
00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:12.000
and we need to extract that.

23
00:01:14.779 --> 00:01:16.685
We can see we now have a new folder

24
00:01:16.692 --> 00:01:18.692
with all the kickstart files in.

25
00:01:19.214 --> 00:01:23.774
The only one that you actually need
 is the kickstart.php file

26
00:01:23.895 --> 00:01:25.699
all the rest are language translations.

27
00:01:26.018 --> 00:01:29.198
We now need to transfer the kickstart.php

28
00:01:29.545 --> 00:01:31.021
and our backup

29
00:01:31.128 --> 00:01:33.128
to our brand new web host

30
00:01:33.162 --> 00:01:35.672
To do that we will use a FTP program.

31
00:01:37.170 --> 00:01:38.710
I am going to use filezilla

32
00:01:39.182 --> 00:01:42.466
but you can use any ftp 
program that you like.

33
00:01:43.853 --> 00:01:45.963
To begin with connect to
your new server.

34
00:01:47.481 --> 00:01:49.841
Once connected make sure

35
00:01:49.949 --> 00:01:52.662
you are in the public html
or the web root of your server.

36
00:01:54.077 --> 00:01:56.737
Now you need to transfer the 
backup file

37
00:01:57.237 --> 00:02:00.077
 from our local computer to our live server.

38
00:02:00.795 --> 00:02:03.595
I am just going to pick that 
up and drag it across.

39
00:02:08.578 --> 00:02:11.542
We now need to take that kickstart.php file

40
00:02:11.677 --> 00:02:13.677
and do exactly the same thing.

41
00:02:15.029 --> 00:02:17.339
Select it and drag it across.

42
00:02:18.726 --> 00:02:21.536
That's it with the filezilla for now

43
00:02:21.796 --> 00:02:23.796
so let's go back to our web browser

44
00:02:23.883 --> 00:02:27.003
and go to our brand new web site.

45
00:02:27.406 --> 00:02:30.160
As you can see I have a 
holding page in place

46
00:02:30.409 --> 00:02:32.463
to show that the web site is coming soon.

47
00:02:33.097 --> 00:02:35.097
So just go to the special url

48
00:02:35.324 --> 00:02:37.324
for kickstart.php

49
00:02:37.446 --> 00:02:39.934
The kickstart program is now running.

50
00:02:40.004 --> 00:02:42.647
Kickstart is NOT an installation program

51
00:02:43.158 --> 00:02:45.891
it is a special archive extraction tool.

52
00:02:45.853 --> 00:02:48.141
Click here to remove this message

53
00:02:48.101 --> 00:02:51.426
and we can see that it 
has detected the archive file.

54
00:02:51.448 --> 00:02:54.136
We have several methods of 
extracting the files

55
00:02:54.452 --> 00:02:58.531
On most good web hosts we 
can use the hybrid method.

56
00:02:59.044 --> 00:03:02.766
Finally click START to begin 
the extract process.

57
00:03:03.325 --> 00:03:06.316
kickstart has now extracted the backup file

58
00:03:06.874 --> 00:03:08.874
and provides a link to the installer

59
00:03:08.954 --> 00:03:10.954
that was built in to the backup.

60
00:03:12.209 --> 00:03:14.662
The installer is a very simple process

61
00:03:15.423 --> 00:03:17.568
we begin with the required settings

62
00:03:18.821 --> 00:03:21.280
as you can see they are all set to yes

63
00:03:22.003 --> 00:03:23.741
If any are set to No

64
00:03:23.842 --> 00:03:25.311
you wont be able to proceed

65
00:03:25.437 --> 00:03:27.437
and you need to speak to your web hosts

66
00:03:27.462 --> 00:03:29.012
to rectify the errors.

67
00:03:30.025 --> 00:03:32.025
We can now click Next

68
00:03:32.847 --> 00:03:34.675
I now need to enter

69
00:03:34.774 --> 00:03:36.057
the database connection details

70
00:03:36.249 --> 00:03:38.249
that I have got from my web host.

71
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:41.165
Enter the server hostname

72
00:03:41.987 --> 00:03:43.652
which is usually localhost

73
00:03:43.611 --> 00:03:45.570
but that may depend on your hosting

74
00:03:46.079 --> 00:03:49.586
and your DATABASE username and password.

75
00:03:50.167 --> 00:03:52.773
And finally the database name

76
00:03:52.791 --> 00:03:55.148
that you want to install your web site on.

77
00:03:55.937 --> 00:03:58.886
This is something that your 
host will have provided to you

78
00:03:59.071 --> 00:04:00.705
or you will have set up yourself

79
00:04:00.811 --> 00:04:02.472
within your hosts control panel.

80
00:04:02.723 --> 00:04:04.723
And click next.

81
00:04:05.798 --> 00:04:07.798
The restoration process of the database

82
00:04:07.915 --> 00:04:11.830
has now completed and 
we can click to continue.

83
00:04:13.248 --> 00:04:15.875
We have now have the opportunity if we wish

84
00:04:16.032 --> 00:04:18.696
to change the site name and the web site address

85
00:04:19.254 --> 00:04:23.472
in most cases when you are restoring a 
site you won't need to do this.

86
00:04:24.984 --> 00:04:27.811
There is also the opportunity
to change the password

87
00:04:27.949 --> 00:04:30.414
and email address of the Super User.

88
00:04:31.864 --> 00:04:33.864
Finally click Next again.

89
00:04:38.007 --> 00:04:40.007
The installer has recognised

90
00:04:40.077 --> 00:04:42.077
that we are installing this backup

91
00:04:42.167 --> 00:04:44.167
onto not only a new

92
00:04:44.241 --> 00:04:46.241
server but a new domain.

93
00:04:46.623 --> 00:04:48.623
and is suggesting

94
00:04:48.711 --> 00:04:50.711
that it replaces all the

95
00:04:50.784 --> 00:04:52.784
references to the old domain

96
00:04:53.192 --> 00:04:55.192
which can be found on the 
left hand side

97
00:04:55.983 --> 00:04:57.272
with the new domain

98
00:04:57.353 --> 00:04:59.353
which can be found on the 
right hand side.

99
00:05:00.184 --> 00:05:02.184
If that's all correct

100
00:05:02.179 --> 00:05:03.282
and it usally is

101
00:05:03.441 --> 00:05:05.441
just click next.

102
00:05:06.627 --> 00:05:09.270
The sites configuration has all been setup

103
00:05:10.074 --> 00:05:12.074
Close this window to return

104
00:05:12.205 --> 00:05:15.266
to the Kickstart program and click on cleanup.

105
00:05:15.831 --> 00:05:19.199
This will remove the kickstart.php file

106
00:05:19.368 --> 00:05:21.793
and that big backup archive from your web space.

107
00:05:22.901 --> 00:05:26.044
Now that we're done we can visit our web site

108
00:05:26.183 --> 00:05:28.398
and here we can see that the web site

109
00:05:28.395 --> 00:05:30.111
has now been transferred

110
00:05:30.223 --> 00:05:33.302
from our old hosting account to our new one.
