Latest Stable Release: 1.2 Stable
Latest Release: 1.2 Stable

JoomlaPack is an open-source backup component for the Joomla! CMS, quite a bit different than its competition. Its mission is simple: create a site backup that can be restored on any Joomla!-capable server. It creates a full backup of your site in a single ZIP archive. The archive contains all the files, a database snapshot and an installer derived from the standard Joomla! installer. The backup and restore process is AJAX powered to avoid server timeouts, even with huge sites. Alternatively, you can make a backup of only your database. If you want a reliable, easy to use, open source backup solution for your Joomla! site, try it out.

JoomlaPack is compatible with Joomla! 1.0.X, Joomla! 1.5.X (legacy), and Joomla! 1.5.X (native).
J! 1.0.X - Use JoomlaPack 1.1.1 or 1.2 stable
J! 1.5.X (native) - Use JoomlaPack 1.2 stable

Features:
-AJAX powered backup (site and database or database only)
--able to exclude specific folders
--able to exclude specific database tables
-AJAX powered restore
-"KickStart" restore: restore without unpacking backup
and more!

Note: Download for alpha, beta, and release candidate builds are under the JoomlaPack [Test] category. Stable builds are under the JoomlaPack [Stable] category.

IMPORTANT Note: Alpha, beta, and release candidate builds are considered developmental builds and are not intended for production sites. For the most part though, test releases undergo basic stability testing before being released for further testing.

As easy as 123 by namelesswarrior, June 6, 2008

Amazing Free extension, a must have, amyone can use it, Iv backed up my site from XAAMP to my remote web server it works perfectly.

Only issue I faced: When I entered a new password in the Joomlapack Installation in the web server, it didnt accept it, I had to login to administrator with the old password I used in XAAMP.

I use Joomla 1.5, the joomlapack used was 1.1.1 stable


Excellent work by dex, June 6, 2008

I can only imagine how hard it must be to write an extension like this, with all the possible hosting scenarios to take in to account, so I must comment...

Firstly, both the process and the instructions are clean and clear. Quite simple to follow.

I have just moved a 1.0.15 site from Windows hosting to Linux hosting, and the only issue I had was a stubborn resistance on the part of the installer to move on after the database had been populated. No problem, because once I tweaked the configuration.php file manually and deleted the installation directory, it all worked like a charm, far exceeding my expectations.

Thanks, I'd use it again any time. And it's free - I will donate right now.


Wow ! What a life saver! by humdinger, June 5, 2008
Well I have only used this application twice , on two totally different servers,but each time worked almost flawlessly.

There appears to be some issue where images that have rollovers are losing the rollover image. If for example the original install was in a sub directory and the new install was on the root directory of the server.

Main image is there, but on rollover you get an 'x'. When looking into the code I see that the rollover image still had the call to the sub directory from the original install. This was easily fixed by just removing the sub directory from the rollover code.

Note: The rollover was setup using the JCE editor's Rollover function so this may have something to do with it.

Regardless saved me so much time and potential headaches.

Thank you for this great FREE application. I can not recommend it enough at this point.


Excellent tool in deploying new sites by robcinoz, May 24, 2008
WOW!!! It couldn't be easier. I use it on 8 sites, so far.
I develop new sites for clients on my "sandbox" site then use JoomlaPack to back it all up and then deploy it to the new site using the inbuilt installer. It is also then in place on the new sites to easily do regular backups.
It's got to be one of the simplest components to install and use. Thank you!


Hands down the best! by cowboysdude, May 19, 2008
This add on for Joomla is hands down the best backup program! To top that all off it's FREE! I have used this and only this because the functionality of this is just so easy! The user doesn't even have to have much knowledge of much to use and believe I know what I'm doing and THIS makes my life SO much easier.

Ever have a 'opps' moment when you were working your site? Well worry no more.. this one has it all!


Great Product by thenewbreed, May 14, 2008
I installed JoomlaPack 1.1.1. which did not work correctly, giving an error message from the start. However, the support forum moderator was very helpful, giving me a new file a "development snapshot release, functionally equivalent to 1.2a2". This installed perfectly and worked correctly on the first try. So far the component is a winner and the support team is one of the best I have come across so far.


Wow! by hechicero, May 12, 2008
Absolutely superb! This is very impressive. Simple to use, installs with no problems and it just works. What more could you want?
Hopefully one day I'll make some money out of my site and I will definitely be back to donate to this excellent work.
Thank you for all your hard work!!!!


wow by bristweb, May 10, 2008
simply incredible. i can't imagine a more user friendly implementation


Nice Approach, Not so Good Developement by emkayy, May 9, 2008

I have to admit, it's a great idea and probably still the best component for this task.
However - it just didn't work and that's what makes it only 'fair'.

In the restore process I get an AJAX error - Cannot evaluate content "Content of the Joomla offline page".

I searched the forum where this issue was discussed several times but no solution was provided except the manual restore process.

But even worse, when I tried the manual restore solution I found that only the DB structure was backed up but not the content!

So try if it works for you first! Don't rely on this and make a manual backup anyway!

Have you tried the JoomlaPack 1.2a2?

Perfect! by jurre_nitert, May 8, 2008

This component is very, very useful. In just a few clicks you have your site completely as back-up.
I didn't even need a manual!

I tried some tools to backup and give up. So, when I found out JoomlaPack, my problems with Joomla backup installations is over. I install in all my Joomla instalations.


All in one! by l3b3rwur57, May 6, 2008

Easy Install, works flawless. Backing up of Website - EASY. Backing up of DB - EASY. I love those one click solutions. The fact that you can define the path where you want to backup to is awesome. I had been looking for quite some time for a similar Component but this one absolutely get`s my vote and a Excellent Rating. THX for building this component guys. It makes it so much easier to work with joomla for us!


Amazing thingy by jenriotus, May 5, 2008
1 of 1 people find this review helpful:
I installed it both for joomla 1.5 and 1.0: joomla1.5 version runs like a dream; 1.0 version hit a few snags, but the support forum responded in 24 hours, and now works too.

It's so compelling that I have to register and express my star struckness. thanks a lot!


IT WORKS! by darkhelmet, May 4, 2008

PROS: This works better than anything available, commercial or otherwise. For you folks struggling to get your XAMPP created Web site onto a remote server, this is your ticket to Easy Street! The backend control panel is minimalistic and to the point, which is the way it should be. Be sure to download the latest PDF manual - the step-by-step instructions are only necessary the first few times you use JoomlaPack.

While JoomlaCloner is decent enough, it fell short horribly when I wanted to 'clone' a client's locally created site - it could not configure the new SQL database properly. I resigned myself to either dragging modified CSS and PHP files from the local server to the FTP server, or creating the site from scratch on the remote server.

CONS: The ONLY feature I miss is the ability to exclude individual files and components from the backup process. If the developer includes this in a future version, JoomlaPack would be complete!

Please request those features on the feature request board where they will receive more attention.

Fantastic -- Backs up the whole site & DB by frankd4, May 1, 2008
1 of 1 people find this review helpful:
Installed flawlessly. Works flawlessly -- I have been able to back up my site and restore it to an entirely different host. I needed this so bad and here it is. It makes a .zip file of all the files and directories and includes the DB backup and an installer. You can also do just a SQL backup of your database. I have a pretty big site and this works fast. Did I say I love this. Great work guys!
