In one of my previous posts on migrating a Joomla website, we looked at a manual method of migrating a web site using simple tools such as FTP programs and simple database access such as phpMyAdmin.
That was so 2008 and there has been much development since in terms of quickly and easily migrating your Joomla website from one server to another.
This tutorial will look at a new method of Joomla website migration using the JoomlaPack Backup extension, also known as Akeeba Backup. We’ll also be rewriting our manual backup and migration process in another article.
