 Hi Guys,

Can I be directed to instructions on how to clone a multi-part website backup into a new domain? My backup is in multiple parts in Dropbox.

Thank you.

I can't seem to use the Site Transfer Wizard as it is not recognising any of my backups.

You would need to bring the backup back to your local site to use the Site Transfer Wizard.

You can also move all the parts of the backup archive to the root of your target site and upload the contents of the Kickstart Core package from our Downloads page (Pro requires an extra step and you don't need it). Then call Kickstart with
www.mysite.com/kickstart.php
That will start the extraction and then the restore. There is no difference between a multi-part backup and a single part backup in the restore.
