Good morning, I have a beginners question about restoring a Joomla site.
I'm not so well known with Joomla, that's why I ask this question.

I've created a back-up with Akeeba Core 8.3.3 which is installed on the site.

Can I use kickstart-pro-7.2.0, which I normal use for restoring WordPress sites, for restoring the Joomla back-up?

And is there anything else I should know?

Thank you!

Hello,

yes, Kickstart will work with every platform, since it will only extract the archive. The real restoration engine is embedded inside the backup archive, so you'll get the correct one depending on the platform you're restoring.

Thank you for your swift mail back Davide! It's clear to me now.

I wanted to change this to a Public ticket, for other viewers, but I cannot do that. Probably you can :-)

Have a nice day.
