Joomla! version: 2.5.11
PHP version: 5.3.13
MySQL version: 5.1.56-log
Host: dreamhost
Akeeba Backup version which took the backup:3.7.7
Kickstart version used to extract the backup: (unknown)
Description of my issue:
A little confused on the guides i found. What I want to do is backup my site and restore to a different url for the purposes of developement.
I can create the backup, download the JPA, Upload the JPA to the new site. I have access to shell. What exactly is the step by step i need to do to ensure i restore to a completely different site AND database as my orginal? This is the first time im cloning a site so i need to be certain i wont break production and have it clear.
Thanks in advance
