In the 2nd step it is required to take backup of the website database. You can log in to your PHPmyadmin account and export the Database tables in SQL format. If you are not sure what your website DB name is in PHPmyadmin. You can check the database and table prefix from Joomla administrator Panel > System > Global > configurations > Server Tab. Important: Put the Joomla website in offline mode when you take website backup via 2nd method. It is important your site meet the technical requirements for the installed Joomla version and upcoming Joomla version. Checkout the latest technical requirements for Joomla 3.x Here As we have taken Migration from Joomla 3.9.28 It is important that our site meets the technical requirements. It is suggested to use Recommended PHP values. To check out the current values on your installed Joomla website. Login on Joomla admin panel > System > System Information. The system Information tab will give complete information about the DB, Joomla version, PHP information, and more permission details. In this step we will set up a staging website from the backup.


#ARTISTEER JOOMLA INSTALL#
You can create the staging website on your live server as a subdomain or install the site backup of localhost (xampp, wamp, etc).

Once the site is restored it is ready to update. Joomla 3.9.10 is still under the Alpha stage since Joomla 4 is not stable. A new stable version will be released for Joomla 3.10 with Joomla 4 stable release. It is recommended not to update your live/product website for Joomla 3.10 or Joomla 4.x. Update website on Joomla 3.10 only if you will update website for Joomla 4 since it is a mini migration version.
