After restoring my joomla site on one of my other domains using kickstart 2.1.4 I miss ALL joomla folders and files (media, components, templates, COPYRIGHT.php, etc.)

As it is written in the manual I don't need to install joomla before restoring a site on a new host so I'm wondering what happen.

The backup of the database was successful on my new domain. I checked it with phpmyadmin.
Some files (index.php, index2.php, configuration.php, LICENCE.php and CHANGELOG.php) were restored/generated.

Attached is the log file from my backup, showing all folders and files are successfully included in the jpa file.

Any help appreciated. JoomlaPack_Debug_Log-20100126.zip

I don't like the way the log is reporting what is happening. You're right, it looks like everything worked.

The problem is where you have the Output folder. The Output folder and all subfolders are automatically excluded from the backup. Since you have the Output folder pointed to the root of the site, the entire site is excluded. The scanner is scanning the folders, but nothing is being added to the archive.

The warning that you get about the default Output folder is a security warning. That is a known default folder, which makes it easier to attack. Your backups are safer if you store them above the web root so that they are not accessible from the web at all.

Thanks a lot for your hint. It's now working a 100% including all folders and subfolders.

That's the way we like it! :D
