I made my backup and attempted to clone it. It moves the xcloer.php tar.php and backup tar.

I'm restoring into the new server at c:/wamp/www.

Install url is localhost/cloner.php.

I've selected the only backup available.

I filled in the sql information. The database name is the same. I'm not sure if that matters or not.

Finally I hit the install button. It goes through the process until it hits:

TAR Error: Error while opening c:/wamp/www/administrator/components/com_xcloner-backupandrestore/css/start/images/ui-bg_flat_55_999999_40x100.png in write binary code.

 

Files succesfully copied to c:/wamp/www/

Configuration updated!

 

The sql import goes smoothly.

 

When I got to http://loclahost the text on my homepage comes up, but that's about it. All the links point to localhost/xclone.php/actual link.

 

I'm really good I tested this before relying on it for a live move. 

 

Edit:

A little more info. I can copy the directory manually and import the sql database manally and it works just fine.

I would advise in your case to simply extract the backup archive manually and restart the restore process with the "skip files restore" option checked. Anyway, i see you got it working 🙂

The whole point of xcloner is to automate most of this. I'd like to find out why it isn't working so I don't have to do it the way I did it.

Well the error you got there interrupted the restore process, have you tried restoring it to another webhost and see if you get the same issue?

Not yet. It's just a wamp server on an xp laptop sitting next to me.
