What you need to take is a backup of your site, using the Backup Now button on the main page. Restore points are partial backups of a single extension, taken when you are updating an extension. This is a feature which will be removed from future versions of Akeeba Backup.

You CAN take and restore a full site backup with Akeeba Backup. Video tutorials:

If you want me to help you please ask me a specific question instead of threatening me with a refund. I would very much like to help you but I swear I am not a mind reader. You asked me about the optional System Restore Points feature, I answered about the optional System Restore Points feature. You had something else in mind. I still don't know what you had in mind. The phrase "restoring the site does not accelerated" makes no sense. Accelerated compared to what? Akeeba Backup Core? Yes it is faster, if you use the integrated restoration. Compared to backing up files and databases manually? Yes, it is way faster. Compared to needing to press Next a few times? No, you can't make it any faster than that without using the command line Akeeba UNiTE tool, which is included in your subscription. So, what exactly would you like me to help you with? Please tell me.

Sorry, I didn't know you were using a translator. Apparently the translator wrongly translated my text as well. I meant no offense. I honestly want to help.

Restore points are a completely different feature to backup. It takes a backup of an extension only. It is the same idea as a Windows XP "restore point" (partial backup of a specific things, not the entire computer). I know that the term is confusing, but it's the same as the one Microsoft uses. This feature was more relevant when it was first created, back in the Joomla! 1.5 days. Now, with Joomla! 3, it is not very relevant. That's why we will be removing it.

What you want is taking a backup, including your content, which you can restore at any time. This is what the regular backup does. Click on Backup Now. This takes a backup. See: https://www.dropbox.com/s/svf9b4k90zcvpvt/Screenshot%202014-10-14%2019.02.10.png?dl=0

Then go to Manage Backups. Make sure that Backups tab is selected. Check the box to the left of a backup. Click on Restore. See this screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/u8dzr2vzconq99r/Screenshot%202014-10-14%2019.04.11.png?dl=0 I have put labels: 1, 2, 3. This is the order you have to click on these things.

IMPORTANT: If you do not see the Restore button please install Akeeba Backup Professional. Watch this video tutorial to see how: https://www.akeebabackup.com/videos/63-video-tutorials/1505-abt03-upgrade-core-to-pro.html

Regarding the time to restore a backup: it depends on your server. On SiteGround, Rochen and our local servers a medium sized site like AkeebaBackup.com takes 30 seconds to extract and 50 seconds to restore. The restoration is over in less than 2 minutes. If you are on a low quality host it will take longer. We never told you that the restoration takes less time in the Professional version. In fact, there is a SINGLE documentation and video for the restoration. If you assumed it would be faster without asking a pre-sales question you have to take responsibility for your assumption. If you had asked me a pre-sales question I would have told you.

Regarding what you paid for: we explicitly describe what our software can do. We give a free version with limited functionality which you can use without paying anything. Our documentation is also available free of charge. We have video tutorials free of charge. And we do encourage you to ask us pre-sales questions. We do not give refunds if you assume there is a feature we never advertised, we never documented and you never asked us about. We explicitly state that in our Terms of Service and you DID agree to them BEFORE paying. What we do is exactly what the European Union consumer protection directives mandate. I don't see why you are offended when you were given all the information the law requires.
