Add this component to your 'must have' list! by trraacy, February 15, 2007
I needed to clone one of my sites and I purchased this product to do it.

If I was only allowed one word for the review I would use 'suh-WEEET!'

I eaily installed the component; the interface is beautiful and totally intuitive (of course I'm not going to slow down long enough to read the manual!).

I was able to back up my site, clone it and get it working on the new domain in about half an hour - and the only reason it took me that long is because I DIDN'T read the instructions.

I'd tried several components as well as my hosting services for backing up my Joomla sites and was never able to get them to work well enough to get a clean working copy - and after putting (sometimes countless) hours of work into getting them installed, configured and adding content THAT's a pretty scary thing.

I had an issue with how I'd configured the site to be cloned and I got a response to my post for support within half an hour and the instructions to fix it were so clean and helpful that I had the issue resolved within minutes.

I purchased the lifetime supply of updates and support for this product and I look forward to using it for many years to come.

Definitely worth every penny of the purchase price and I can't recommend it highly enough, and may even have to come back and edit my review when something else to rave about comes to mind.

Hope that helps,
Tracy A. Phaup


Great tool, great support by sofiapedroso, January 28, 2007

I have bought this component, and i'm glad i did it.
This tool works perfectly. I changed 8 sites from one server to another so quickly i could not believe it.

The minor problems i had, due to my inexperience, were solved with their support. They answer really quickly.

Congratulations. Keep going!

Ultimate Support by browse, January 27, 2007
I highly recommend this component. It was worth every penny. I thought there was a problem when I tried to use it and I submitted a support request. The response was very prompt and accurate. The problem was with some other issue on my site that didn't have anything to do with the JoomlaCloner, but they still provided excellent support. If you are considering purchasing this product, don't wait another second.


Got to have by leonsmith, January 24, 2007

This is my most basic must have for a site right after joomlaXplorer. All my sites get backed up to a remote hosted server every night. Zero problems, plus they have other must have tools like auto installer.

what can i say? This component does what it says.....theres no spin going on here. It's saving me hours in design and backup and the support is exceptional. I was so impressed i had to write this review.....I would of preferred to send a box of chocolates but i guess J.Cloner will have to settle for this.

Thanks

Q. what did the big chimney say to the little chimney ?

Dont be Foolish - clone or die! by paulmark, January 18, 2007
1 of 1 people find this review helpful:
Last month three of my joomla sites were hacked and defaced. Days of painful recovery and lost revenue were enough to finally take a hard look at my security and my backup systems. I found JoomlaCloner and made a commitment to implement as part of my core Joomla tools.

Unlike other simpler, non critical extensions, this one requires that you read all the documentation. A very small price to pay, given the alternatives of a hacked and destroyed site without backup!.

Although JoomlaCloner may at first seem complicated to the noobie, (er like me at WAMP)who tried to stubbornly implement without asking a couple of basic questions....I have to say, the support offered was exceptional.

I recieved immediate response and had my fully functional backup and localhost server implementation running like a dream.
I can now develop and test new features on my localhost 'test' sites and publish to my live production sites as needed. But better yet, I have peace of mind that no matter what may happen to my live sites, I have a backup plan and tools to fully restore my live sites quickly and easily.

Clone or die. Your choice.


Great Component! by mrhiking, January 4, 2007
Great component for backing up your site (Please don't learn the hard way that you MUST back up your site OFTEN) and/or transferring your site to a new hosting provider.

Also, the customer support is EXCELLENT.


One of those "Must have" components by Stanley, January 1, 2007
This does the job in a very simpel and functionel way.
One of those "must have" components for sure.
Using it on all my sites and my clients too.
I havnt tried the clone function yet, but the backup to ftp etc. works flawlessly.

Good Job

Great component by newtraid, December 27, 2006
2 of 2 people find this review helpful:
Having struggled to find an easy way of backing up a site i backed up and transferred my site within about an hour (max) of deciding to buy the component.
The site was seriously hacked in the past, I can sleep easier now.
Minor point, I used the Joomlahacks SMF bridge, after transferring to a new domain, you have to go to the bridge component, change the path and repatch the files (another 10 seconds!)
Probably the best component I have installed

Outstanding Support - Well Worth It by cjoom, December 23, 2006
2 of 2 people find this review helpful:
I just got finished moving my site from a /joomla folder to the main root.

It was complicated a little by the hosting company's permissions and that they had two config.php files.

The staff at Joomla Plug worked on it over the course of hours. (I have about a dozen emails in my inbox of us going back and forth trying to figure it out.)

Where can you ever get such support? I bought the $100 version and have found it to be totally worth it. Somethings just can't be commercial free. Backing up a joomla site is one of them.


Best money ever spent by maas, December 21, 2006
Hi,
I bought a license of JoomlaCloner 2 days ago because I had problems cloning my site to my new host and wouldn't spend my whole Holidays on working to get my new site up and running.
Within Hours the whole site (190 MB) was cloned to a temporary account and today again in no time to my actual (new) account.
The support provided was excellent!
Reply's on my emails within minutes, fixes of minor problems (settings of rights) even faster. They even fixed problems that I had with some components like gallery1.
You know: Dutch ppl are not particularly fast on spending money but these are the best $$ ever spend on web tools.
For me is JoomlaCloner a must have component!

Terrific Program- GREAT SUPPORT by joomlasmores, December 2, 2006
4 of 4 people find this review helpful:
I cant over-compliment the customer support provided by the makers of this program. They helped me through email support often less than half an hour with most questions.

The program itself does exactly what it says, and I was able to clone my site on a completely different server!

I feel great now having a backup for all my hard work.


Great Product - Great Support by silicondesigns, November 17, 2006
After some initial teething problems, we have finally got this component to a point where its working perfectly. This is almost totally down to the help of Ovidiu from JC who provided us with a first class support service. I can't speak highly enough of this guy who worked over and above the call of duty for us. I only wish other Joomla developers were as good as it would make our lives a lot easier.

Thanks again Ovidiu, your product and service is top notch!


Couldn't live without it by Klementz, November 12, 2006
This component is incredible. I had three different cloned sites running, and passed changes among them until I was ready to go live, then I cloned my original site just to be sure, and then put the working copy right over top in a matter of minutes.

I did have a spot of trouble when I first started, but it was because my site is large (300mb) and I had server timeouts. But this is where the developer steps in with the most incredible support I have ever experienced! He even went in and fixed a mess created by another unrelated commercial component. Wow!

Back up your whole site, and move it anywhere just like it says. You get what you pay for, but in some cases you get a lot more.


Easy! by bluefightingcat, November 10, 2006
This is a great component. Sure you have to pay for it, but at least you have a peace of mind that you won't lose your joomla website. You never know when you might get hacked, have a server corruption or simply change a setting that will ruin everything.
