1
00:00:08.830 --> 00:00:10.150
A backup of your web site

2
00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:12.400
is only useful if you can restore it

3
00:00:13.203 --> 00:00:15.473
perhaps you need to change your web host

4
00:00:15.673 --> 00:00:17.213
or even move the site

5
00:00:17.241 --> 00:00:18.501
from a development server

6
00:00:18.509 --> 00:00:19.449
to a live server.

7
00:00:19.846 --> 00:00:20.726
To begin with

8
00:00:21.020 --> 00:00:23.020
take a brand new backup of your web site.

9
00:00:26.845 --> 00:00:28.845
Once the backup is complete

10
00:00:29.115 --> 00:00:30.685
go to Manage Backups

11
00:00:31.347 --> 00:00:34.067
and download the backup file to your computer.

12
00:00:37.967 --> 00:00:39.967
Now we've downloaded the backup file

13
00:00:40.027 --> 00:00:41.817
we need an additional program

14
00:00:41.954 --> 00:00:43.044
called Kickstart

15
00:00:43.256 --> 00:00:46.946
which you can find at the 
akeebabackup.com web site.

16
00:00:47.558 --> 00:00:48.798
Go to download.

17
00:00:49.616 --> 00:00:52.996
You will find the akeeba kickstart
here in the backup section.

18
00:00:54.113 --> 00:00:56.280
Kickstart is a standalone program.

19
00:00:57.421 --> 00:01:00.441
Click download to download 
the file to your computer.

20
00:01:02.811 --> 00:01:04.131
Here we can see

21
00:01:04.161 --> 00:01:06.351
that the Kickstart program is a zip file

22
00:01:06.521 --> 00:01:08.881
and we need to extract that.

23
00:01:11.537 --> 00:01:13.443
We can see we now have a new folder

24
00:01:13.573 --> 00:01:15.573
with all the kickstart files in.

25
00:01:16.098 --> 00:01:20.658
The only one that you actually need
 is the kickstart.php file

26
00:01:20.779 --> 00:01:22.583
all the rest are language translations.

27
00:01:22.902 --> 00:01:26.082
We now need to transfer the kickstart.php

28
00:01:26.429 --> 00:01:27.905
and our backup

29
00:01:28.012 --> 00:01:30.012
to our brand new web host

30
00:01:30.046 --> 00:01:32.556
To do that we will use a FTP program.

31
00:01:34.054 --> 00:01:35.594
I am going to use filezilla

32
00:01:36.066 --> 00:01:39.350
but you can use any ftp 
program that you like.

33
00:01:40.737 --> 00:01:42.847
To begin with connect to
your new server.

34
00:01:44.365 --> 00:01:46.725
Once connected make sure

35
00:01:46.833 --> 00:01:49.546
you are in the public html
or the web root of your server.

36
00:01:50.961 --> 00:01:53.621
Now you need to transfer the 
backup file

37
00:01:54.140 --> 00:01:56.980
 from our local computer to our live server.

38
00:01:57.698 --> 00:02:00.498
I am just going to pick that 
up and drag it across.

39
00:02:05.481 --> 00:02:08.445
We now need to take that kickstart.php file

40
00:02:08.580 --> 00:02:10.580
and do exactly the same thing.

41
00:02:11.932 --> 00:02:14.242
Select it and drag it across.

42
00:02:15.629 --> 00:02:18.439
That's it with the filezilla for now

43
00:02:18.699 --> 00:02:20.699
so let's go back to our web browser

44
00:02:20.786 --> 00:02:23.906
and go to our brand new web site.

45
00:02:24.309 --> 00:02:27.063
As you can see I have a 
holding page in place

46
00:02:27.312 --> 00:02:29.366
to show that the web site is coming soon.

47
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:32.000
So just go to the special url

48
00:02:32.227 --> 00:02:34.227
for kickstart.php

49
00:02:34.255 --> 00:02:36.232
The kickstart program is now running.

50
00:02:36.851 --> 00:02:39.494
Kickstart is NOT an installation program

51
00:02:40.005 --> 00:02:42.738
it is a special archive extraction tool.

52
00:02:42.700 --> 00:02:44.988
Click here to remove this message

53
00:02:44.948 --> 00:02:48.273
and we can see that it 
has detected the archive file.

54
00:02:48.295 --> 00:02:50.983
We have several methods of 
extracting the files

55
00:02:51.468 --> 00:02:55.547
On most good web hosts we 
can use the hybrid method.

56
00:02:56.060 --> 00:02:59.782
Finally click START to begin 
the extract process.

57
00:03:00.341 --> 00:03:03.332
kickstart has now extracted the backup file

58
00:03:03.890 --> 00:03:05.890
and provides a link to the installer

59
00:03:05.970 --> 00:03:07.970
that was built in to the backup.

60
00:03:09.225 --> 00:03:11.678
The installer is a very simple process

61
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:14.584
we begin with the required settings

62
00:03:15.837 --> 00:03:18.296
as you can see they are all set to yes

63
00:03:18.906 --> 00:03:20.644
If any are set to No

64
00:03:20.745 --> 00:03:22.214
you wont be able to proceed

65
00:03:22.340 --> 00:03:24.340
and you need to speak to your web hosts

66
00:03:24.365 --> 00:03:25.915
to rectify the errors.

67
00:03:26.928 --> 00:03:28.928
We can now click Next

68
00:03:30.030 --> 00:03:31.858
I now need to enter

69
00:03:31.957 --> 00:03:33.240
the database connection details

70
00:03:33.432 --> 00:03:35.432
that I have got from my web host.

71
00:03:36.300 --> 00:03:37.986
Enter the server hostname

72
00:03:38.890 --> 00:03:40.555
which is usually localhost

73
00:03:40.693 --> 00:03:42.652
but that may depend on your hosting

74
00:03:42.808 --> 00:03:46.315
and your DATABASE username and password.

75
00:03:46.896 --> 00:03:49.502
And finally the database name

76
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:51.877
that you want to install your web site on.

77
00:03:52.666 --> 00:03:55.615
This is something that your 
host will have provided to you

78
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:57.434
or you will have set up yourself

79
00:03:57.540 --> 00:03:59.201
within your hosts control panel.

80
00:03:59.452 --> 00:04:01.452
And click next.

81
00:04:02.527 --> 00:04:04.527
The restoration process of the database

82
00:04:04.644 --> 00:04:08.559
has now completed and 
we can click to continue.

83
00:04:10.205 --> 00:04:12.832
We have now have the opportunity if we wish

84
00:04:12.761 --> 00:04:15.425
to change the site name and the email address

85
00:04:16.466 --> 00:04:20.684
in most cases when you are restoring a 
site you won't need to do this.

86
00:04:20.902 --> 00:04:23.729
There is also the opportunity
to change the password

87
00:04:23.816 --> 00:04:26.281
and email address of the Super Administrator.

88
00:04:27.784 --> 00:04:29.784
Finally click Next again.

89
00:04:30.185 --> 00:04:32.828
The sites configuration has all been setup

90
00:04:33.632 --> 00:04:35.632
Close this window to return

91
00:04:35.763 --> 00:04:38.824
to the Kickstart program and click on cleanup.

92
00:04:39.389 --> 00:04:42.757
This will remove the kickstart.php file

93
00:04:42.926 --> 00:04:45.351
and that big backup archive from your web space.

94
00:04:46.459 --> 00:04:49.602
Now that we're done we can visit our web site

95
00:04:49.741 --> 00:04:51.956
and here we can see that the web site

96
00:04:51.953 --> 00:04:53.669
has now been transferred

97
00:04:53.781 --> 00:04:56.860
from our old hosting account to our new one.
