Description of my issue:
I have recently recovered from a fairly serious stroke and in attempting to get back to work and bring my joomla hosted web sites up to date I find that one of them is still using Joomla 1.5.26 ( with backups being done by Joomlapack ).

I am intending to do a new Joomla 3.2 install into another root directory ( /jooma3/ for example )

Can i use the latest Akkeba backup product to restore a backup done on the JoomlaPack app in Joomla 1.5.26 folder ?/

David

That won't work. Think about it for a moment, your backup will overwrite the 3.2 installation and what you'll end up with is a 1.5 site (probably a broken 1.5 site for reasons we don't need to go into).

There is a third party extension, JUpgrade, that migrated Joomla! 1.5 sites to 2.5. My understanding is that the ‎redMIGRATOR component is a better choice, the continuation of the development of the JUpgrade work. You can find both with a Google search.

Good luck with your upgrade!

Thx for that.

You are welcome!
