I backed up my website using Akeeba backup and downloaded the jpa file. I now need to restore that backup. The backup is not displayed amongst the files in the file manager within Akeeba but thankfully I have the downloaded file. But I do not know how to use this file to restore. There is no option within the Akeeba interface to upload the jpa file. How do i do it?? Any help would be great. Also I am using Joomla 3

  • In the link above, skip to the Akeeba Kickstart section. It should have all the information you need.

  • Please read the documentation on the Akeeba site. The backup component is specifically to "backup" your website. You'll need to use Akeeba Kickstart to restore the backup.

  • Please be aware that as you run the Akeeba Kickstart, any current site files in the same directory will be replaced.
