Hi,
I have the need of moving my installation of Akeeba Solo to another server configuration and that affects the url and absolute paths of the script.

So I was wondering if you have any written procedure to move Akeeba Solo installation to another server.

Last year I have to move it to another server and I basically exported the profiles and that worked, but now I have a couple of extra users and I think it will be easier if I could just copy files and db and change some paths. Is that possible?

It's kind of meta to have a backup tool for your backup tool, but who knows if it's useful ;)

There is really not a good way to do that.

The URL and path of a site cannot be addressed without exporting the backup profiles, processing them (e.g. with a batch job) and re-importing them. The crux of the issue is that these are part of the profile configuration which is stored encrypted.
