In this video tutorial we demonstrate how to backup a live hosted DotNetNuke website and install it on a localhost computer.
This enables you to test elements such as new modules and new skins before installing them on your live website and allows you to keep a backup copy of your website on your own personal computer.
This is an important technique to learn as it can prevent installation issues occurring with the live website. For instance, when upgrading DotNetNuke you can download the live site to a localhost computer and run the upgrade process on the localhost installation to check that no errors occur before applying it to the live website.

(SQL server 2005 express to SQL server 2005)
In this video tutorial we demonstrate how to transfer a localhost DotNetNuke installation to a live hosted website.
This covers how to transfer a localhost site which uses an SQL Server 2005 Express database to a hosting provider which uses an SQL Server 2005 database.
This method is much more reliable than the portal template and site wizard method for transferring data from a localhost installation to a live website as it does not suffer the same problems as the portal template method.
For example, this method transfers all data and modules, all registered users and security roles etc, the tab ids remain the same and it can easily transfer the data from a large site. The portal template method has problems with each of those elements.
