Hello,
This is the official documentation about what is the purpose of the /moodledata folder:
http://docs.moodle.org/22/en/Moodledata_directory
I would like to know what kind of files are stored in the moodledata folder in addition of modifications to language strings and users profile pictures.
The files that students submit to the Moodle assignment 2.2 activity, are they stored in /moodledata?
The feedback files that teachers upload as part of their feedback in the Moodle assignment 2.2 activity, are they kept in /moodledata?
I am asking this because I plan to upgrade from moodle 2.2-> moodle 2.3 -> moodle 2.4-> moodle 2.5
and, for the shake of speed,
I planned to upgrade the Moodle database and the moodle core folder in a development site, which also contains a copy of the moodledata folder of my production site.
When all the upgrade is done, I planned to transfer the following items:
/moode folder upgraded from 2.2 to 2.5
database upgraded from 2.2 to 2,5
from the development site to the production site,
However, because the folder moodledata is enormous (almost 10 GB or so), I planned to keep the original moodledata of the production site, as I undertand that this folder is not involved in the upgrading process.
Am I correct or does any step of the upgrade write or modify any content/file included in the moodledata folder?
Thank you very much for your advise.
