If you enjoy those videos, maybe you should pay a visit to Norm's website http://www.teachingjoomla.com/ This is a two part video tutorial on using JoomlaPack to transfer your site. It is produced and published by Norm Douglas from the Joomla! forums. Even though it is created for a much earlier version of JoomlaPack (2.1), it is still very relevant.

The first part of the tutorial discusses the overall concept of moving our site, installing JoomlaPack and taking your first backup.

Note: when he talks about JoomlaPack Free and Special edition, think of JoomlaPack Core and Plus respectively. Moreover, as you can observe, there are no longer multiple mirrors per package. All downloads have been moved to JoomlaCode.org, that's why there is only one download link in our Downloads page.

In the second part of the tutorial, Norm demonstrates how you can extract the backup file (ZIP format only!) directly on your host, using your host's Control Panel functions. Then, he proceeds running the installation procedure until he has a fully working site.

Note: we normally recommend using Kickstart to achieve the same goal for three reasons. First, it supports both JPA and ZIP formats. Second, it can handle cases with servers producing seemingly corrupt ZIP files (not all hosting Control Panels can cope with this kind of files). Third and most important, it can handle your site's .htaccess file in a way that it doesn't interfere with the installation process. However, we can see the grace of Norm's method - less user interaction - so we decided to include his tutorial in this section anyway.
