Akeeba Backup version: not installed yet, will be latest

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Please attach a ZIP file containing your Akeeba Backup log file in order for us to help you with any backup or restoration issue. If the file is over 2Mb, please upload it on your server and post a link to it.

Description of my issue:
I've used Akeeba in the past with no trouble and it was easy.

Since then I moved server which put the files for my main .com site as the root, leaving subfolders to over websites in this.
I've created a new look for the site on another url, which I normally do. Then I backup and restore on the .com url.

This is the first occasion that the .com folder contains the joomla data and other site files in the public html file where my .com is located.

If I do my usual and restore the new site here (built elsewhere) will it delete the subfolders that reside here that are for the other site, or will Akeeba touch joomla related folders only ie admin, cache etc?

Yes my joomla will be same version.
And yes you were right I basically take a month or so making a new look for my main page, move database of members etc over then back up and full restore at the 'old look' sites location
I don't know how I missed the bit about the restoration process in the write ups.
This is a relief as losing those directories would be catastrophic. I'll sort this out today.

Huge thanks!!!

Will do that :)
