If this answer already exists, please point me to it, having trouble finding using search. Thx.
I'm a newbie to AkeebaBackup, yet really impressed with the Pro version to date. Thx for a great effort.
Challenge:
I'm trying to "clone" my Joomla production server to my localhost on a PC. Although everything seems OK after running the Kickstart.php, when I log on to the admin area, I'm redirected to the production server. When I view the site locally, menu bars, etc. are missing. There are other issues as well.
Rather than go into all the detail, are there detailed directions how to properly backup a production environment (database(s) & folder/files) to easily clone to a local PC "localhost" domain (we're using XAMPP)?
P.S. No issue wiping localhost clean and starting from scratch if that's best ;)
