I try other backup and restore component but it can not completely restore my 10 GB site but this component can do it with premium support from Ovidiu. I pay only 9.95 EUR and he solve my problem less than 1 hour. Thanks for superb support and for the good component.

I was moving from a subdirectory Joomla installation to the main directory of a site that already existed. I was very nervous about how the move would go once I had my Joomla site configured how I wanted it.

I downloaded XCloner and ran a backup. I downloaded the .tar file and kept it on my desktop "just in case." Then I attempted to migrate the subfolder into the main folder via FTP and all hell broke loose. Both sites were broken and half of the files didn't transfer. I'm sure I would have been in for a terrible time of putting things back together without XCloner.

All I did was install Joomla 1.5 on the root, then install XCloner and restore the backup from my desktop. It took a little while, but it did the job absolutely perfectly. Every article, every module, every component, every plugin, every setting was identical to the sandbox site when I backed it up.

I breathed a huge sigh of relief!

Thank you XCloner for a perfect product that works VERY well!

An Excellent Component. I am a newbie and I had a hard time getting a backup for our website.
I downloaded and installed this component and with the help of the excellent simple documentation a backup for The Alpha Website was created and downloaded to my desktop.
Well Done and God Bless.

Not only does this product say what it does on the tin - the support is second to none - high class product and a high class team behind it! Ovidiu is world class at being helpful!
I bought the Wordpress backup as well - it takes all the headache and time out of figuring this stuff out for your self and leaves more VDT (Valuable Drinking Time)

Hi I used this component to clone a joomla site and I was amazed how easy it makes all the process, unfortunately the database was not imported as expected, when I went to the website (new) some texts were missing, I had to go manually to PHP admin, export from the first page, then import on the other and everything worked fine.

Make sure when restoring that you use an empty database before you start the restore process, otherwise, if you created the backup without the "Add DROP Syntax", you will run firstly into import errors and then incomplete restores

I've been using this since 2007 and it is a component I install right away on any new development. I have never had any issues with this and have cloned/moved MANY sites with it. Anytime I run into a snag the developer goes over and above to be sure everything is working. HIGHLY recommend this one!

I am a very regular user with an OK Joomla experience but not trained in IT and I am sorry to say that this program for me is in no way succeeded for me to get to work. So if you're not above average user of IT, I can not recommend you to use this program!

I have now spent over 5 hours to find out of it without any success! So it most be for them there is something better than I, sow you will have to be an expert!

I use XCloner (1.9) a lot and think it is great. What I did was take the time to create a "master" Joomla site with all the components, modules, plugins and templates installed and configured. Then, I configured everything I use often so my one "master site" is set up just the way I want it. Then, when I make a new site, I run the restore script, point it to the master site that I cloned, and within minutes my new site is up and running. No need to manually install everything from scratch. That is a huge time saver that alone is worth its weight in gold. But, I also use it to move all my development sites from my internal development server (Windows based) to my production hosted server (Linux based) and that process is quick also. It takes a little longer than creating the new clones of my "master site" only because you have to FTP the huge zip file to the hosted server. That is unavoidable though and has nothing to do with this. So, I can deploy a site to production in about an hour including file transfer time, and I can clone an internal development site in about 20 minutes.

It took me a little time to really master things, but once I did, I figure I have saved literally hundreds of hours in the past few months by cloning sites instead of creating them from scratch each time. It is much quicker to clone a site then customize it, trust me, I have done it both ways many times, and I will never go back to the old way.

Thanks for a great product!!

This component was just what I needed to keep my site working properly, A very nice component with a lot of potential. Nice and neat, does the work right out of the box. With the new features with fixed articles, choice from section and category and the ability to force rotation and restore original frontpage it´s impressive

To be honest, I had a very difficult time moving my site, but the tech contact at this vendor did everything within his power to help me. His response times were amazing. We exchanged emails at the rate of a chat window. He jumped in and dealt with my Linux hosting account, moved files around, and really went well beyond the call of duty to help me. This is the best $77 bucks I've spent since I started working with Joomla, and probably the hardest he has had to work to earn a loyal customer.

I am confident that someone without the challenges I had with two different hosting companies would have a much easier time of it, but without hesitation I wholeheartedly recommend this vendor and this product.

I have taken on several projects that require me to develop sites in one location and then move to final server upon completion. The first one I did by hand....... The second I did using XCloner (JoomlaCloner). I love this extension. It was almost $80 USD but worth every penny.

I just wish there was better documentation and EXAMPLES..... but other than that it was fantastic.

I was running out of time to get a site cloned and running on a new server and was getting desperate, so i decided to invest in Joomla Cloner and its definitely worth the price, as it saved me a lot of time and money.

Very easy to use, just follow the prompts, sit back, relax and let this application do all the backing up and restoration for you.

Definitely a life saver and a must for all your Joomla website backups.

My IT guys have been utterly unresponsive, and yet I needed to clone a site immediately. Problem: I'm not very technically savvy.

Using XCloner, I was able to backup a site, then clone+move it to another website! Perfect. Many thanks!
