There is absolutely no excuse for not doing regular backups of your Joomla site when there is backup software like this around.

I installed JoomlaPack and then did a full site backup in minutes. I restored my entire test site easily and it came right up with absolutely no ill effects.

I'll be using JoomlaPack to apply software fixes and upgrades from now on as well. Very well done!

Very good extension

Joomla Pack makes Joomla live much easier. I can remember transferring Joomla packages manually from my sandbox to the server. this was horrible. if i could vote more than 5 stars i would.

This must be used by every Joomla users.. very Very very good. Salute the team. Thanks

This component works as described, installs like a kiss, and has made my life much less stressful. What more can you ask for?

How can one be at the safe side without a backup tool? No, not really.

In fact, this package is a life insurance - all completely not depending from the provider.

Fav'ed it

I was able to move my site to another host in minutes with this extension. Well worth the download folks!

backup in 4 mins, restore in 4 mins. 2 mins checking. perfect restore from existing!!!

This extension is perhaps one of the best safty nets you could have for joomla! It takes a matter of minutes to figure out, and effectively reduces the time to backup or restore a site. Great product, 5 stars.

JoomlaPack… WOW!!! What can I say besides, what a life saver this was for me!

I came across this tool about two months ago. It was a little hard for me to understand at first, as I am fairly new to Joomla!. But, once I harnessed it’s power, I began using the thing all over the place; on EVERY SITE I HAVE DESIGNED!

Moving a site was virtually impossible for me. I used FileZilla FTP to do this, and more often than not, files were missing all over. What a mess! It took me forever to figure it out and re-FTP them up to the site. By then I was pretty much done working on it for a while.

Enter JoomlaPack to the rescue! With JoomlaPack, I can move a site in minutes instead of hours. I can have it up and running with little work, as opposed to fumbling through folders trying to figure out what might have been missed.

And, that is not even talking about the strength of backing up a site. How could this not be a ‘main part’ of Joomla!1.5? They MUST know that this needs to be done? You know how many times (before I found JoomlaPack) I or one of my clients deleted a site by accident? Or moved something that shouldn’t have been moved and breaking the site all together?

NO MORE I SAY… NO MORE!!!

And, when I had trouble figuring something out (it was always my stupidity), Dale would ‘im’ with me for hours, nay I say days, until it was right. Now that is support!!!

Using JoomlaPack has certainly changed the way I move and backup Joomla! websites. If you’re smart, you’ll start using it too. Once you figure out the steps, it becomes so easy a Caveman could do it! (This in no way was designed or stated in an effort to offend any or all Cavemen who may be reading this article.)

Just use it if you are new in joomla.
Don't hesitate.
It easy and really time saving:
for back up
for retoring asite
for cloning
for duplucating
for testing...

It should be included in joomla by default...

Thank you a lot for this fantastic extension.

Its a shame there is not a ratin called: Perfection. As this is.... It's a wonderful bit of KIT that I am now using on all my client websites. Thanks guys. I will be donating next month.

thank you

Not all of us are Joomla wizards, but all of us do need good backup software. Joomlapack is not only very easy to use and also understandable for people with more modest web development skills, it also offers excellent support for when you do run into problems. This is the kind of feature that is sometimes underestimated, until you actually do run into trouble.

I had a problem with unpacking a JPA backup archive on a local host (MAMP) and the Joomlapack support stuck by me until solved. Thanks guys!

If you have this same problem, see [url=http://joomlapack.net/component/option,com_kunena/Itemid,98/catid,39/func,view/id,18559/]how to upload local backup to new local site[/url]

I have used this product to backup sites before doing any changes "just in case" and the safety net provided by using this product has proved to be very worthwhile.
I have also used JoomlaPack to transfer complete sites between domains as part of release processing - it works brilliantly.
I have found it easy to instal and use and thoroughly recommend it.
Great product guys!

This is a well put together extension. I like the fact it is geared toward security. The security "alerts/warnings/suggestions" with the hyperlinks back to the creators website makes solving these "alerts" a no brainer. I appreciate that.

Thank you.

This is easy to use and... It WORKS!

From now on, for sure, this is the first thing I will ever install on a Joomla site before doing anything else.

Well done! Many thanks!

Really easy to use and works perfect.
I use it in all my sites and never had a problem.

This is an excellent, well documented and easy to use extension that has saved many hours. Thanks a lot for the good work!

New to Joomla and with so many things to wrap your mind around, here is an issue that is taken care of by this extension.

It has worked (after intial learning curve)without fail and regularly backup and transfer between local site and host and vice versa.

Have made many errors on the site and this has saved the day more than once.

This extension and an excellent host work well together.

Excellent component. First thing I install on every site.
