JoomlaPlug!

  XCloner 2.x is the new development  version of JoomlaCloner

  The main scope was to make it install native for Joomla 1.5 and to also be able to run standalone for non-Joomla systems

  What are the main changes compared to the original JoomlaCloner component?

   - we have made the code to run standalone, so now you can use the software to backup not only Joomla sites, but any kind of PHP/Mysql based site

   - we simplified the backup types leaving only TAR support for now

   - we added a variable called "Backup Start Path:", which from now will allow you to backup any parts of your site, and this can go now bellow the default Joomla root path 

  How does XCloner installs?

  1. on Joomla 1.5 based systems you simply upload the component using the Install menu, and access it from the components menu after install

  2. on Joomla 1.0.x and other locations you need to do  this:

     a. upload the archive file in your site root in a directory called xcloner/ for example
     b. after you decided what the backup root path would be from where XCloner will pull the file structure, you
will need to create in that root path this directory administrator/backups and make it writeable
     c. make sure you login to XCloner Configuration and check the Info tab for further clarifications on your required configuration
     d. a special note on Joomla 1.0.x system is that you could also simplified the install by uploading the archive files into a directory called administrator/component/com_xcloner  and then access that location directly

   XCloner 2.x is available for download to all of JoomlaCloner users in our Downloads area here  and is also available as a free trial here
