In this article I discuss how I backup and restore a Joomla backup using Akeeba.
Step 1:
Make sure to install the latest version of Akeeba backup extension.
Step 2:
Do a backup using Akeeba
Step 3:
Using "Manage Backups" download a copy of the of the website (broken into 2Gig files).
Step 4:
Copy the files along with the latest version of kickstart.php (from the Akeeba website) to the Docker instance of your website.
CMD: cp /pkg/repository/filestorage/* /var/www/html
Step 5:
Run the kickstart.php and follow the instructions.
Step 6:
Likely the copy of the website (i.e. the backup) has different table prefix's and this will break the indexes for the smart serach. Therefore, you will need to delete all the exisiting index's and create a ll new ones.
Go to the Joomla administrator panel and under Smart Search - Actions - delete all the existing index's and create the new ones....
Done!
