Description of my issue:

Hi,

I have recently subscribed the akeeba backup pro account; I want to install it on joomla 1.5.23 cms, which is already working with old free joomla pack 2.4 release. Can I install akeeba pro and keep joomlapack installed for a test period ( make it running both ) untill I verify the new pro extension is working regular?

Thank You
Best regards

Yes, of course you can. JoomlaPack and Akeeba Backup are two different pieces of software, using different directories and database names.

IMPORTANT! If you are using the default backup output directories, you have to exclude each component's backup directory in the other. That is, in Akeeba Backup exclude administrator/components/com_joomlapack/backup and in JoomlaPack exclude administrator/components/com_akeeba/backup. Otherwise you will be backing up your backups and, let me tell you, it won't be fun!
