Usually XCloner does the domain name change automatically if the restore is done properly, but in case it didn't, please check here http://codex.wordpre.....e_Site_URL

I have the same problem as above. I just installed xcloner. did a backup and tried to install into another domain (directory) on the same server.
Everything looked ok on the restore. no errors. however the restore redirects to the original domain even though the entries on the xcloner.php restore page were all set to the new domain location.
I tried the suggested changes on the codex page you mention above and it does seem to change the location of the restore however all the formating on the site is messed up (menubar missing, sidebars don't work correctly, etc.) and when I try to log in thru wp-login.php it states that there are too many redirects. so I can't even get to the admin pages.
So there are still some things that need to be changed. However I don't know where to look or what to change to make this work.

the problem is much worse than I thought. it appears that the xcloner backup messed up our actual site. so now all the formatting on our WP site is wrong. apparently when the restore was done it connected to the original DB not the backup one.
How can I restore our original settings????????

Usually that can only happy if you used your original mysql details when restoring, otherwise XCloner does not alter your original database. Do you have a url for your site which you could share to see the issues you are having?
