Hi Ovidiu
After successfully backing up the site - thank you - and downloading the backup, I'm attempting to restore the site on my local machine.
I've following the documentation and each time I run the restore process, I get to the first screen setting up the restore, complete all details and then press the "Start Install" button, the server is reporting a 403 error for stating that I don't have permission to access XCloner.php.
I'm using WAMP on a Windows Vista machine.
Any ideas?
Cheers!

Could you post here a screenshot after your restore screen config details?
I am guessing you might be running into a restore limitation, are you using XCloner 3.0? If not, try and see if you still have issues.

Hi Ovidiu
Apologies for the delay. Life just gets in the way sometimes... Yes, I'm using XCloner v3.0.
Anyway, I think the image is what you're after.
Regards,

Hi Andrew! Look at the "Install url" value, it should not contain the xcloner.php text in it!
Best way when restoring, to avoid the above issues, is to call the restore script from XCloner.php and not xcloner.ph file naming, notice the upper cases.

Thanks Ovidiu. However, I'm still getting the 403 error but I tracked it down. It seems to be a function of Bullet Proof Security's .htaccess file. After renaming it to htaccess.txt, XCloner ran fine and beautifully. Thank you.
Cheers!

Ahh, that reminds me, the bullerproof security adds a deny rule for the "drop" word inside the .htaccess file, usually XCloner creates the backup default name with a drop or nodrop term in it related to the database backup mode, and so bulletproof .htaccess rule denies that request.
Glad you got it figured! Cheers, Ovidiu
