+====== How to restore from backup DokuWiki? ======
+===== Restore DokuWiki on same server - different folder =====
+==== Scenario: want two duplicate/same versions of DokuWiki installed on the same server, where one install is live and the other install for testing ====
+  - Example case: original DokuWiki installed in ''../dw'' folder. Then do a second install (same version of DokuWiki) in ''../dw2'' folder. Verify DokuWiki is working in ''../**dw2**''.
+  - Install custom DokuWiki template, in this case using [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/template:vector|vector template]].
+    - Upload, extract and rename into the ''../**dw2**/lib/tpl/vector'' folder
+    - If using a custom logo, then copy ''../dw/lib/tpl/vector/user/logo.jpg'' to ''../**dw2**/lib/tpl/vector/user/logo.jpg''
+  - login DokuWiki Admin (Configuration Manager) make following changes
+    - Basic: change template to **vector**
+    - Advanced: use nice URLs > .htaccess
+    - Advanced: Use slash as namespace separator in URLs
+  - Configure [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/rewrite|URL Rewriting]]
+    - edit ''../dw2/.htaccess.dist'' by uncommenting (removing #) the url rewrite code section then save as ''../dw2/.htaccess''
+  - Copy following folders
+    - ''../dw/data'' to ''../dw2/data''
+    - ''../dw/conf'' to ''../dw2/conf''
+    - ''../dw/lib/plugins'' to ''../dw2/lib/plugins'' (see below)
+    - Used GoDaddy File Manager on shared hosting unless you have shell access privileges.
+  - Plugins
+    - Option 1: copy ''../dw/lib/plugins'' to ''../dw2/lib/plugins''
+      - login to DokuWiki Admin (Configuration Manager) > [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:extension|Extension Manager]] (plugin bundled with DokuWiki) to check for proper install and required updates to plugins/templates
+      - to ensure plugins are compatible, verify DokuWiki version is same between ''../dw'' and ''../dw2'' (tip from [[https://forum.dokuwiki.org/user/4479|mmturner]])
+    - Option 2: manually download and extract plugins into the ''/dw2/lib/plugins'' folder
+  - Test everything is working
+  - References
