OK … no “bring on the clones” references (oooops … to late)

New Joomla Component to simplify the process of moving a Joomla installation to a new host. I haven’t tried it but features and reviews look pretty darn good. Anything that simplifies adminstration is fine by me.

 Backend Features:

- Create full or partial backups based on your input
- Create ZIP or TAR backups based on your configuration input
- Possibility to create incremental backups, so you avoid the time limit problems on php script executions
- Possibility to exclude components, modules, mambots from your generated clone
- Possibility to exclude directory and files from the backup, manually or through cron settings(AJAX powered)
- Create backups based on a cron task, created backups can be stored on the local server, remotely through ftp or emailed to a custom email account
- Ability to manage existing backups, rename/delete/move, publish to user frontend for sharing
- Posibility to clone any backup to another location, it can be done automatically by using the server ftp function or manually
- Configuration area lets you choose on how to generate backups based on your server possibilities
- You can choose to create backups by using only PHP, or by also using some server utilities to speed things up

Restore Features:

- The generated clone of JoomlaCloner can be restored on a totally different server, with new server and mysql details
- Restore both ZIP or TAR archives
- Restore script is independent from the main component and Joomla and can be run on any host
- Full restore of a clone made with JoomlaCloner
