Major Backup Issue !! Please Help!

Major Backup Issue !! Please Help!

Like most people on here I was having issues with backing up large files. I have adjusted the PHP.ini etc accordingly with no avail. But worse in the last week or so my backups arent finishing. They merely report unfinished and stop after the fourth course.

If I try a manual backup of a course  there is a message at the top of the page that states "WARNING!!! The code you are using is OLDER than the version that made these databases!"

If I continue it fails with the message "A required parameter (backup_unique_code) was missing"

I can only presume whatever is causing the single course backup is causing the daily backup to fail.

ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATFULLY APPRECIATED !!!! HELP!!

with thanks

Scott

looks like one of your components was meant to be used with an older Moodle system.
try to turn on full developer debug notifications to get more info and post it here.

if you find it, try to see if there is a new version that matches your Moodle version.

maybe it uses old APIs to handle backup and that is why it fails ?
