 Hi. I am a web developer and I have more then 20 sites, most of them in Joomla. For all my J sites I am using Akeeba Backup. Now I am switching host and I am using your tools (backup and kickstart).
I have already moved 5 sites and they all work fine. For the sixth one I have a problem.
I created a backup in JPA format, uploaded it withe the kickstart.php file, and I get a blank page.
I did the same with ZIP format and I get the same resolute.
I tried extracting the ZIP file using the server tools and I get en error.
I tried extracting the ZIP file in my local mac and I get en error.
I also get en error when using extract wizard for both files.
Obviously there is something wrong. How can you help me please?

This is the error I get when trying to extract the ZIP file using the server tools:
Unable to extract /httpdocs/site-www.kiah.org.il-20150224-013451.zip: filemng failed: Archive: /var/www/vhosts/kiah.org.il/httpdocs/site-www.kiah.org.il-20150224-013451.zip inflating:
