This component is amazing.
I have spent hour trying the other backup components before I found this one. I tried JoomlaConer and JoomlaGhost. Both were difficult and problematic.
JoomlaPack is simple, quick and reliable and best of all FREE!
I have now used it on Joomla 1.0.x and 1.5 sites (the lastest JoomlaPack1.2 release). I have never had a problem and restoring sites is simple.
One of the best components for Joomla and one that every site should have

I've been using this extension on both Joomla v1.0xx and v1.5 sites and I have found it very useful. It has improved in stability over the last year(the time that I've been using it) with each update and I have great confidence with the current version both in backing-up and doing complete restores from backup.
Wow, how easy was that. I always dread backups if you don't have ftp access to the old site. But with this tool it turns out to be a pleasure. Install the component, make the backup, FTP the backup to the new site and run the installer. Worked without any fault and very smoothly. Thanks for a great product. I already donated for this component. Money well spent.
This is the best backup tool for joomla.
But today while trying to download thier website says: "Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL"

No issues whatsoever, it just works. Thanks for something that should be a built-in.
This works flawlessly on my 1.5.2 site, with a bunch of add-ons. Thanks!
was able to backup a joomla site, restore it one directory level upward on the same server with absolutely no loss of any extensions or files or db info that I can tell so far... the documentation was a little unclear for me at first, but I figured it out quickly and had no problems after that. Great extension.
Itz really a excellent work.. and of course free. Easy to use and every thing went okay.. Backing up when ever required but Still did not get chance to restore and see how it works..
I advice every body to use this component and make a small donation to the owner inspite of making this amazing component.

Exactly as described. The new beta version (1.2B1) is ridiculously fast, as my entire joomla directory is over 100mb+ and yet it was done in seconds.
Highly recommended.

I found a glitch with the installation, so I contacted the support team, as with quite a few modules I was not expecting a quick response if any. However I was wrong, within a day of listing the issue within the forum, the Head Developer got back to me with the solution. Top notch module to class support. Well Done.
I've been wanting to consolidate my hosting for some time but I've resisted because of the work involved in moving some large Joomla sites. Well, JoomlaPack did the trick. I moved a number of sites, including one that 200MB+, in just a couple of hours, with little hassle or fuss thanks to JoomlaPack. Simply put, it works!
