A few words on JoomlaPack 

JoomlaPack is an open-source backup component for the awarded Joomla! open-source CMS, offering a simple, straightforward and streamlined process for backing up your site's files and database in a single ZIP file and restoring them anywhere with a script similar to Joomla! installer. It is used by webmasters and web professionals for keeping backup copies for safekeeping, ensuring upgrades will not cause downtime, develop locally and restore directly on the live site, even downloading a working copy of a client's site for debugging purposes. The integrated front-end backup can be scheduled with third party tools and releives the webmaster from the worry of remembering to take a backup regularly.

JoomlaPack is developed by an international team of volunteers, spanning two continents and three countries. Our passion for high quality open-source software fuels our hearts and drives our efforts when writing code or supporting users alike.
