Old database processes: This setting is important when you have databases for this site from previous Joomla
installations. The first parameter "Backup" will backup your data so you may access it later if you need it. The second
one "Remove" will permanently delete all the data from the database and you may not be able to access them
anymore. If there is no other database, leave it BackUp as it is.
If you are working on a hosted environment then you may contact directly your hosting support to give you the
adequate information to access the database.
* If you get the message "Could not connect to the database", after you clicked on the "Next" button in the top right
of the screen, you may go back to this step and make sure that you have entered the settings correctly. Otherwise
you may contact your host provider and see if you can directly create the database or you have to create it before on
your host page.
If everything is alright, then hit Next button.
