Description of my issue:

Morning Nicholas,

Hope all's well with you.

I'm sure there are instructions for this somewhere, but I can't find them.

A client has a flat HTML Site on a Windows server.

I have persuaded them to have a J! site.

Once the site is finished on my local machine or a test domain, I need to setup the domain on a Linux server, then restore my archive - is it just a case of using KickSTart as per a normal restoration, or do I need to be aware of anything else?

Thanks,

Bass

Nothing special is required. Just restore the backup using Kickstart. You may want to refer to our video tutorials, we have one which is about transferring your site with Kickstart. I guess you were looking for that video, no? :)
