How to manually copy files from one course to another

How to manually copy files from one course to another

I'm coding a local plugin in Moodle and I'm trying to copy resources from one course to another one manually (not doing a backup and restoring).

I've tried to manually get the resource, the course_module, the context and finally the file from DB, then copying rows and updating the fields that concern to the new course, and also chaning SHA1 from pathnamehash file's table field.

Any ideas or alternatives to do that?

Thanks!

Why not just use the backup and restore system?

It is quite easy to automate that from code. See https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Backup_2.0_for_developers#Setting_up_the_environment & https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Restore_2.0_for_developers#Automatically_triggering_restore_in_code
