Hi every body
When I backup a glossary and restore it to another server, I don't find any of its entries.
With my best regards.
Hi Sahar 
What version of Moodle are you using ? on the source server and on the destination server.
Do you mean images that are attached to the Glossary entries or linked or uploaded into it ?
Do you backup an entire course ? or do you use the import export tool of the Glossary activity ?

Glossaries only back up if you include user details in them when backing up. However if you export as xml file you can then import that into your new glossary and it will work.
And also bear in mind that this doesn't include images etc. that you may have in the glossary entries.
We've managed this in the past by setting up a generic account that creates glosssry entries and then we backup/restore retaining that user. It's not very elegant and not appropriate for many use cases.
The best solution would be if the Glossary backup could be modified so that media is captured in the XML file in the same way as a the Question Bank Moodle XML format.
