check if we're restoring from the same moodle site

Dear all,

I'm trying to develop a restore procedure for a module. Is there a way to check whether the backup file that we're restoring has been created on the same Moodle site?

I mean for example in the process_MODULENAME($data) function.

There is a function backup_is_same_site in backup/lib.php.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Suppose that I'm inside the restore_MODULENAME_stepslib.php and in the process_MODULENAME method. Can I use backup_is_same_site here? If so, what should I pass as the parameter to it?

I had to do the same thing last week, so:

    protected function process_oucontent($data) {
        if (!$this->get_task()->is_samesite()) {

There you go smile
