WEBVTT

1
00:00:08.658 --> 00:00:10.876
Akeeba Solo can do more

2
00:00:11.067 --> 00:00:12.873
just backup a single web site

3
00:00:13.366 --> 00:00:14.801
it can also backup

4
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:17.926
files and sites that
exist above your web root.

5
00:00:19.065 --> 00:00:21.065
There are 2 occasions where you may do this.

6
00:00:22.186 --> 00:00:23.764
If you have a downloads folder

7
00:00:23.776 --> 00:00:26.773
that you are protecting by 
keeping above the web root

8
00:00:26.858 --> 00:00:29.354
you want to make sure you 
back that up as well.

9
00:00:29.669 --> 00:00:31.273
You may also have installed

10
00:00:31.390 --> 00:00:32.618
an additional web site

11
00:00:32.618 --> 00:00:33.873
perhaps a subdomain

12
00:00:33.873 --> 00:00:34.867
for a forum

13
00:00:35.531 --> 00:00:36.592
and you want to make sure

14
00:00:36.599 --> 00:00:38.258
that in your Akeeba Solo backup

15
00:00:38.728 --> 00:00:39.780
you include the forum

16
00:00:39.837 --> 00:00:41.837
as well the Drupal web site.

17
00:00:42.932 --> 00:00:44.323
If we scroll down

18
00:00:44.627 --> 00:00:45.656
we can see there are two options

19
00:00:45.684 --> 00:00:47.481
for including data in the backup.

20
00:00:48.124 --> 00:00:50.628
One for databases and one for directories.

21
00:00:51.628 --> 00:00:54.235
To begin with let's look at the databases.

22
00:00:54.716 --> 00:00:57.726
So select Multiple Databases Definition.

23
00:00:59.380 --> 00:01:00.892
Here we can add the details of the

24
00:01:01.031 --> 00:01:03.655
additional databases that we want to backup.

25
00:01:04.673 --> 00:01:06.523
We do not need to give any

26
00:01:06.707 --> 00:01:10.103
information for our Drupal web 
site database as this automatic.

27
00:01:11.903 --> 00:01:13.903
Click on the small plus icon

28
00:01:14.004 --> 00:01:15.125
And a popup opens

29
00:01:15.521 --> 00:01:18.203
asking for the connection details for your database

30
00:01:18.872 --> 00:01:20.872
you should have this from your web host.

31
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:23.879
First enter the database driver

32
00:01:24.154 --> 00:01:26.154
the hostname

33
00:01:26.502 --> 00:01:27.714
the username,

34
00:01:27.711 --> 00:01:29.171
the password,

35
00:01:29.375 --> 00:01:32.958
and finally the name of the database you wish to backup.

36
00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:35.600
Click on Test Connection.

37
00:01:36.750 --> 00:01:39.695
When you have a success message click Save.

38
00:01:40.589 --> 00:01:42.589
You've now configured Akeeba Solo

39
00:01:42.836 --> 00:01:44.170
to include this additional

40
00:01:44.282 --> 00:01:46.282
database in your backup.

41
00:01:46.740 --> 00:01:48.740
We now want to include the files.

42
00:01:49.364 --> 00:01:51.364
So let's return to our Control Panel

43
00:01:51.592 --> 00:01:54.523
and select the Off-site Directories Inclusion.

44
00:01:56.240 --> 00:01:58.892
Again click on the small plus icon

45
00:01:59.235 --> 00:02:01.235
and then click on the folder icon.

46
00:02:02.235 --> 00:02:03.809
Here we can see that

47
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:05.546
we have in our hosting account

48
00:02:05.594 --> 00:02:06.745
three folders.

49
00:02:07.037 --> 00:02:10.596
Downloads, where I am storing the off-site downloads,

50
00:02:11.069 --> 00:02:13.348
forum, for my phpBB forum,

51
00:02:13.721 --> 00:02:15.183
and public_html

52
00:02:15.328 --> 00:02:17.957
which is where my current Drupal
 web site is installed.

53
00:02:19.101 --> 00:02:21.451
If I want to include the downloads folder

54
00:02:21.830 --> 00:02:23.830
simply select it

55
00:02:23.866 --> 00:02:25.171
and then select Use

56
00:02:25.308 --> 00:02:27.943
and click on the Save icon.

57
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:30.360
Let's repeat that for the forum

58
00:02:30.474 --> 00:02:31.750
by clicking on the plus,

59
00:02:31.951 --> 00:02:33.134
browse,

60
00:02:33.322 --> 00:02:34.833
selecting the forum,

61
00:02:34.860 --> 00:02:36.860
and selecting Use.

62
00:02:37.249 --> 00:02:39.249
Finally Save.

63
00:02:40.519 --> 00:02:42.372
Now we have added our external

64
00:02:42.420 --> 00:02:43.643
database for the forum

65
00:02:43.766 --> 00:02:46.191
and our two folders for the downloads

66
00:02:46.173 --> 00:02:47.036
and the forum itself.

67
00:02:49.187 --> 00:02:52.684
Let's go back to the Control Panel 
and perform our new backup.

68
00:02:59.611 --> 00:03:01.611
Once the Backup is complete

69
00:03:01.825 --> 00:03:03.182
go to Manage Backups

70
00:03:03.409 --> 00:03:05.409
and download it to your computer.

71
00:03:12.971 --> 00:03:14.248
We're now ready to look at

72
00:03:14.355 --> 00:03:15.718
the restoration process

73
00:03:15.735 --> 00:03:18.162
of this Akeeba Backup.

74
00:03:18.547 --> 00:03:20.753
I'm going to use my ftp program

75
00:03:20.898 --> 00:03:24.047
to connect to a new server where 
I am going to restore this backup.

76
00:03:24.969 --> 00:03:26.523
I am using filezilla,

77
00:03:26.752 --> 00:03:28.752
but you could use any ftp program,

78
00:03:28.757 --> 00:03:30.757
to connect to the new server.

79
00:03:32.448 --> 00:03:34.577
As you can see my new server

80
00:03:34.685 --> 00:03:36.101
has a public_hmtl folder

81
00:03:36.193 --> 00:03:37.753
where my web site would live

82
00:03:38.214 --> 00:03:40.814
and if I navigate in you can see that its empty.

83
00:03:42.078 --> 00:03:44.078
Let's take the backup file

84
00:03:44.195 --> 00:03:45.135
and copy that across

85
00:03:45.279 --> 00:03:46.434
to our new server.

86
00:03:47.025 --> 00:03:50.601
Finally let's take our kickstart.php file

87
00:03:50.744 --> 00:03:52.744
and copy that across as well.

88
00:04:02.992 --> 00:04:05.161
Now let's return to our web browser

89
00:04:05.564 --> 00:04:07.208
and complete the restoration.

90
00:04:08.070 --> 00:04:09.978
Go to the special url

91
00:04:10.111 --> 00:04:12.111
for the kickstart.php file

92
00:04:12.586 --> 00:04:13.924
close this message

93
00:04:14.059 --> 00:04:15.003
and begin.

94
00:04:16.029 --> 00:04:18.419
We can see it has selected the archive file

95
00:04:18.664 --> 00:04:20.107
and we can let the Akeeba Backup

96
00:04:20.249 --> 00:04:23.474
kickstart program extract the files 
to our web server.

97
00:04:24.975 --> 00:04:26.487
Once that has completed

98
00:04:26.455 --> 00:04:28.455
we can run the installer.

99
00:04:29.846 --> 00:04:32.218
As with all Akeeba Backup restorations

100
00:04:32.464 --> 00:04:33.387
the installer

101
00:04:33.382 --> 00:04:35.382
checks that our server is suitable

102
00:04:35.406 --> 00:04:37.406
and then we can click Next.

103
00:04:38.749 --> 00:04:40.749
We are now ready to restore the site's

104
00:04:40.952 --> 00:04:42.393
main database.

105
00:04:42.697 --> 00:04:44.697
the one for your Drupal web site.

106
00:04:50.181 --> 00:04:52.181
Click Next to Continue.

107
00:04:53.068 --> 00:04:55.068
Here we have an additional screen.

108
00:04:56.327 --> 00:04:58.008
We can see here that this screen

109
00:04:58.106 --> 00:05:00.106
is to setup the extra database

110
00:05:00.412 --> 00:05:02.896
the one for our phpbb forum.

111
00:05:03.643 --> 00:05:05.794
So here make sure you enter 
the correct details

112
00:05:05.896 --> 00:05:07.545
for the forum

113
00:05:11.580 --> 00:05:13.580
The installer is now ready

114
00:05:13.673 --> 00:05:15.079
to restore your Downloads folder

115
00:05:15.154 --> 00:05:17.154
to above the web root.

116
00:05:17.468 --> 00:05:19.878
Click Next and the files will be copied

117
00:05:20.741 --> 00:05:23.039
and do the same again for the forum folder.

118
00:05:30.482 --> 00:05:33.250
Finally complete the rest of the site setup

119
00:05:33.304 --> 00:05:36.024
as you would do normally.

120
00:05:36.111 --> 00:05:37.471
The final step

121
00:05:37.489 --> 00:05:38.683
is to remove the copy of the

122
00:05:38.776 --> 00:05:40.049
external folders

123
00:05:40.463 --> 00:05:43.876
from inside our public_html web space.

124
00:05:44.804 --> 00:05:47.305
To do this return to filezilla.

125
00:05:48.378 --> 00:05:50.149
Here we can see that the forum

126
00:05:50.387 --> 00:05:51.681
and the downloads folders

127
00:05:51.644 --> 00:05:53.644
were successfully copied

128
00:05:53.894 --> 00:05:55.894
and if we go into the public_html

129
00:05:56.262 --> 00:05:58.262
where our Drupal web site is

130
00:05:58.285 --> 00:06:00.746
we can see a folder 
called external_files.

131
00:06:01.745 --> 00:06:03.019
We no longer need this folder

132
00:06:03.085 --> 00:06:05.085
so we can delete it.

133
00:06:06.315 --> 00:06:08.315
So by using the multiple

134
00:06:08.500 --> 00:06:09.867
database definitions

135
00:06:10.181 --> 00:06:13.234
and the off-site directories inclusion feature.

136
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:15.720
We can use Akeeba Backup Professional

137
00:06:16.220 --> 00:06:18.220
to not only backup our web site

138
00:06:18.461 --> 00:06:20.461
but to backup all the other websites

139
00:06:20.523 --> 00:06:22.523
within our hosting as well.
