Ajax Backup Component.

JoomlaPack is designed as a Joomla! component that can create a backup of your whole site (files and database) in the form of a single archive. In order to help you restore this, it also adds an installer, in the spirit of the standard Joomla! installer. All you have to do to restore your backup is follow the regular Joomla! installation procedure: unpack the archive, upload files, point your browser to the installation script, follow the installation screens and you're ready.

As an added bonus, you can restore the backup on any server, not only the one you got the backup from! JoomlaPack uses a MySQL version neutral database backup technology. This enables you - for example - to take a backup on a MySQL 5 enabled host and restore it on a MySQL 3.23 enabled host. The possibilities for using this component are endless. Some uses might be:

  • Security backups. Taking a snapshot of your site should your server fail, or a hacker exploit some security hole to deface or compromise your site.
  • Template sites. Web professionals have used JoomlaPack in order to create "template sites". This means that you can build a site on a local server, install every component you usually do on most clients' sites and back it up. You now have a canned site that can serve as a great template for future clients. Using the same method you can have a snapshot of all the sites you have built for your clients, without the need to have them installed on your local server.
  • Build a site offline, upload the finished site easily. Web professionals can build a complete site offline - on a local server - and when done take a snapshot with JoomlaPack, then restore it on the production site.
  • Testing upgrades locally, without risking breaking the online site. Joomla! updates have the potential of breaking things, especially in complex or badly written components and modules. Webmasters use JoomlaPack to get a site snapshot, restore it on a local test server, perform the upgrade there and test for any problems without the live site being at risk.
  • Debugging locally. Almost the same as above, web professionals have used JoomlaPack to take a snapshot of a client's Joomla! site in order to perform bug hunting. Using JoomlaPack again, they can upload the fixed site back on the live server.
  • Relocating a site to a new host. Webmasters who want to take their site to a new host have found JoomlaPack to be their savior. Just backup the original site and restore on the new host; presto, your site is relocated with virtually no effort at all.

JoomlaPack can save you hours of your time. This is what hundreds of our users tell us. Moreover, this invaluable tool comes to you at no cost. JoomlaPack is licensed under the GNU General Public License Version 2 or any later version.
