Is SFTP supported in AkeebaBackupPro 3.1? Not to extract the backup...just to upload it?

man...... is my ignorance ever show'n on that one.....

BTW--I tried to search this question and all the "quicksearch(?)" results lead to your error page.

Hi Nurbz,
Secure FTP or SSH, is available. You can use any method that is compatible with Joomla since the files are stored in a regular Joomla directory.

Uploading next backup to live VPS account but need to ask: When I setup the 2nd database (zencart) and test the connection it connects WITHOUT the zen_ prefix. Does that mean I don't need EITHER prefixes "zen_" or "jos_" in the live DBs I create on the server to extract the backup into? Just checking....thanx a mil.

When you were setting up the Extra Database Definition, did you specify that a prefix of zen_ was used? If not, you don't have to use a prefix when restoring. If you did specify a prefix, though, you have to use a prefix when restoring.
