Hi everyone!
In preparation for the release of Moodle 2.1 in two weeks time, Moodle HQ developers will be testing the restore of Moodle 1.9 backup files into 2.1. To do so, we're requesting your help by sending us your 1.9 backup files for use in testing.
All 1.9 backups (course and activity) are appreciated, though we'd especially like activity backups of complex activities, such as a quiz with a large number or type of questions, a database with many fields, or a lesson with many branches, paths and questions etc. Basically the messier the better!
A short description of the course/activities backed up would also be helpful, for example
Attached: sciencefair.zip
A lesson activity with 7 questions, 2 jumps and 3 branch pages. Has media (images and audio). User data included.
As it is not yet possible to restore user data into Moodle 2.1 from a 1.9 backup, it is not necessary for your backup to include user data. However, it would be a bonus for us if it does, as it would enable us to use your backup for testing user data restore in future.
Please note that all backup files sent to us will be used for testing purposes only, and will not be shared outside Moodle HQ.
Please send your backup files to our Education Researcher, Tomaz (tomaz@moodle.com).
Thanks in advance for your help in ensuring that the restore of Moodle 1.9 backup files into 2.1 is as bug-free as possible!
