Using Akeeba Backup with Joomla 

Thank you ! very clear , thks

I’m so glad I’ve found your video! Spent most of yesterday afternoon (admittedly, outside in the sun with my laptop, as we had our first glorious day of sunshine in the UK 😂), trying to get my site to restore. Now I know what I was doing wrong and it should be done by the time I’ve drunk my first coffee 😊 Have you ever had to change a domain name for a Joomla site? I have tried to follow the process and that’s what messed up my site in the first place. Process involved amending config.php, something to do with SQL, dropping the tablets then importing the SQL file back in again (can’t quite remember, but I have slept since!). It kept giving me redirect errors after I had completed it 🙄 Anyway, I’ll try following your steps for the restore and I should be back to where I was yesterday afternoon and ready to try and rename the site again. Many thanks and great content 😊

Akeeba is not bad software. But support is really horrible; Nicholas loves insulting people asking for help. It's not just my opinion and I don't know the reason, but you can actually google support tickets with insults in them instead of solutions ;) A lot of results in google. So as long as everything is working fine, this software is good and does decent job. But when something is not working as it should, do not expect help
