How do I backup and restore a Joomla site?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 7:38 am

Backup and restore a Joomla site can be easily done using the built-in backup and restore functions of Joomla. The first step is to create a backup of your site.

To do this, go to the Backup / Restore menu item in your site’s main menu and click on the Create Backup button. Joomla will then display a backup dialog box where you can specify the backup location and the backup time.

PRO TIP: Backups are very important, but they can be tricky. Make sure you know how to properly backup and restore your Joomla site before attempting either procedure.

Once you have created a backup, it is time to restore it. To do this, go to the Backup / Restore menu item in your site’s main menu and click on the Restore button.

Joomla will then display a restore dialog box where you can specify the restore location and the restore time.
