00:00:07.823 --> 00:00:11.818
Site Transfer Wizard is a unique 
feature of Akeeba Backup.

2
00:00:12.545 --> 00:00:14.362
With it you can copy an entire

3
00:00:14.543 --> 00:00:16.923
 web site from one server to another

4
00:00:16.972 --> 00:00:18.972
without having to download anything to

5
00:00:19.031 --> 00:00:20.284
your own computer.

6
00:00:20.918 --> 00:00:22.250
This is particularly useful

7
00:00:22.430 --> 00:00:24.049
if you have a limited internet connection

8
00:00:24.568 --> 00:00:26.568
or the site is particularly large.

9
00:00:26.798 --> 00:00:27.867
To begin with

10
00:00:28.026 --> 00:00:30.026
click on the Site Transfer Wizard.

11
00:00:31.362 --> 00:00:33.362
Site Transfer Wizard requires you to have

12
00:00:33.362 --> 00:00:35.362
 a recent backup of your site.

13
00:00:35.917 --> 00:00:37.917
You can see I have one here already

14
00:00:38.472 --> 00:00:40.626
but if you don't then a link will be displayed

15
00:00:40.626 --> 00:00:42.626
for you to create one.

16
00:00:43.526 --> 00:00:45.315
You are also prompted with the minimum

17
00:00:45.349 --> 00:00:46.974
disk space required on your NEW server

18
00:00:47.041 --> 00:00:49.349
to transfer the site.

19
00:00:51.372 --> 00:00:53.372
Next enter the URL

20
00:00:53.404 --> 00:00:55.404
to the new site and click on Check.

21
00:00:57.557 --> 00:00:59.557
You  now need to chose one of the available

22
00:00:59.568 --> 00:01:00.830
transfer methods.

23
00:01:01.449 --> 00:01:03.449
I am going to choose FTP.

24
00:01:03.873 --> 00:01:06.698
First I enter the ftp hostname

25
00:01:06.789 --> 00:01:08.789
of my new server.

26
00:01:09.413 --> 00:01:11.889
and then the FTP username and password

27
00:01:17.676 --> 00:01:19.898
And then the actual directory

28
00:01:19.970 --> 00:01:21.970
on the remote site that I am going

29
00:01:22.165 --> 00:01:24.165
to install this web site in.

30
00:01:25.242 --> 00:01:27.242
Now the path can be quite difficult

31
00:01:27.542 --> 00:01:28.711
to get exactly correct

32
00:01:29.269 --> 00:01:30.871
so the easiest thing to do

33
00:01:31.030 --> 00:01:33.030
is to open your FTP program

34
00:01:33.299 --> 00:01:35.299
and copy it from there.

35
00:01:36.262 --> 00:01:37.834
I am using filezilla

36
00:01:38.274 --> 00:01:40.274
but you could use any FTP program.

37
00:01:42.638 --> 00:01:44.638
When I have connected with my FTP

38
00:01:44.872 --> 00:01:46.872
 I can navigate to the site root,

39
00:01:47.662 --> 00:01:50.155
in this case public_html

40
00:01:50.706 --> 00:01:53.190
and take a copy of the actual full path.

41
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:57.719
I can then return to my web site

42
00:01:58.002 --> 00:02:00.002
and paste it in to ensure

43
00:02:00.182 --> 00:02:02.182
it is exactly correct.

44
00:02:02.542 --> 00:02:04.018
When all that's been entered

45
00:02:04.073 --> 00:02:06.073
we can Proceed with the Installation.

46
00:02:07.938 --> 00:02:09.938
Akeeba Backup is now uploading

47
00:02:10.081 --> 00:02:12.081
a copy of the kickstart program

48
00:02:12.023 --> 00:02:13.629
and transferring the backup file

49
00:02:13.673 --> 00:02:15.673
to your new site.

50
00:02:16.867 --> 00:02:18.580
Depending on the size of your site

51
00:02:18.617 --> 00:02:20.003
this may take some time

52
00:02:20.499 --> 00:02:21.999
and you must keep this page open

53
00:02:22.054 --> 00:02:24.054
until it has completed.

54
00:02:25.286 --> 00:02:26.467
Once completed

55
00:02:26.538 --> 00:02:27.919
click to Run Kickstart

56
00:02:27.965 --> 00:02:29.658
and a new browser window will open

57
00:02:30.163 --> 00:02:32.163
to the Kickstart program running

58
00:02:32.163 --> 00:02:33.638
on your NEW site.

59
00:02:35.184 --> 00:02:36.865
We can now complete the restoration

60
00:02:36.898 --> 00:02:38.898
process on the new server 

61
00:02:39.090 --> 00:02:41.090
as shown in the previous video.
