I was wondering.....
Right now I am working on a package.
Each time to test the package, best scenario is to have a clean install of umbraco.
Right now I created some automated system (actually a batch-file :whistle: ) to clean up my complete db and website and to restore a clean install of umbraco.
I was wondering how others do that? Manually, somesort of script?
Just curious.....
Cheers,
PeterD
PS: I'm trying to create a package right now similar to the creative website wizard, but then a clean package for a blog (including blog (doh), doc2form and if all goes well, rss)

Personally I just do a fresh install takes only a couple of minutes.
- copy files to directory
- add new IIS application
- add new database
- change web.config
- run install

There are two solutions. First, do a fresh install... it doesn't take long. Second, use (and thereby test) Soren's Clean Sweep package. He needs feedback from people using it before he's comfortable submitting it as a package for the repository. You can help yourself and Soren in the process by using it! http://www.afdeling18.dk/umbraco-development/clean-sweep.aspxcheers, doug.

I suppose there's another alternative... make a fresh install and immediately zip up the filesystem and backup the database. When you want to return to a clean install, delete the files, unzip, and restore the database from backup. cheers, doug.

Thats what I do now:
I created a fresh install. From that I created a backup of the DB and a copy of the IIS-folder.
Now, with a batch file, it takes me about 10 seconds to restore a complete fresh install :)
Besides, I dont need to connect to my server anymore, I can just use my browser to trigger the batch.
To start from scratch takes at least 5 minutes.......and if you test importing a package, discover a few glitches, fix them, you can start all over again.......
Took me longer to start from scratch each time then to debug.....
I certainly will look at Sorens package-sweeper!
