Guys,
We have come across a small issue, when we back up a course not saving user data, the other thing that goes missing is the session information for the course. (Actually, anything which is held in the mdl_facetoface_session_data).
However, if you do the backup with user data, and restore without user data, then it works.
The issue is within the backup_facetoface_stepslib.php -
line 128 $session_data_element->set_source_table('facetoface_session_data', array('sessionid' => backup::VAR_PARENTID));
which does the back up of the data only if user data is selected. I would recommend it be removed out of the user backup section and place it in the data backup section. (I moved it to line 121 before the line if ($userinfo) {
This allows things like location to be backed up without user data.
Cheers
Peter
