Hello Moodlers!
Automated course backup function for 2.0 seems to duplicate course backups, does not remove old course versions when 'saveto destination' is not the course default dir and does not skip hidden courses. I don't think this is the intended behaviour for this function - but feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken.
Can anyone else replicate my issue?
1. login as admin
2. go to Home > Settings block > Course > Backups > Automated backup setup or http://yourmoodle.com/admin/settings.php?section=automated
3. use follow settings
Active: Enabled
Schedule: Monday
Execute at: 00
Automated backup storage: Specified directory for automated backups
Save to: path something like /home/directoryoutsidewebroot
Keep: 1
4. save changes
5. wait period for automated course backups to run, then go to saveto directory specified above; note multiple versions of each course backup.
Fyi - I've added a bug report over at tracker. Vote, watch or get involved.
