Hi
I have used XCloner for restores successfully on several joomla installations
all using the same website. Now I am trying to do this from our test server to 
our production server using a different website url. 
Since I do not have permission to create a mysql db this was done 
for me by our admin hosting us. He also had to change configuration.php
for things to work. 
Two things puzzle me and I do not know how important they are. 
1) I notice this file database-sql.sql which has not appeared on 
any of the other restores made or at least not in the administrator/
backup folder. It seems to be created by Xcloner and looks like a database dump
from the previous host.
2) The restore is missing a searcher module usually configurable from joomla admin. 
This makes me think that the restore was almost successful but not the exact copy
I was hoping for.
Question: Do i need this database-sql.sql? Should I delete all and start again as 
this module is missing?

The database-sql.sql file is the backup of your original database, and yes, you usually need it, you need to import it in your new database.

 

Hope it helps!
