v 2.9
I've tried to backup a course whose Activities and Resources exceeds the 4G threshold. I am trying to debug the issue but cannot find the correct log/report which will point me to the error.
Attached is the error message I receive. Is this error message due to a Moodle setting or is it coming from the server?
Suggestions?
In your version of Moodle there should be in the Site Administration > Development > Experimental menu an option to change the backup to a *.tar.gz format, which removes the 4gb barrier. Well, there was, I am not sure if it has been moved to another option now or it has been dropped in the latest releases.
Now, the .tar.gz option is always used. That is why the option has gone.
So, that is not the reason it is failing.
Does setting Debugging to developer level give any clues about why this might be failing?
Oh good... and that will make life a little easier, thanks Tim!!!!
Hi Tim,
Here is what I found in the error_log:

Not being a programmer or a certified sys admin, I'd like to learn what these messages mean and how to correct them. (I'm ok w/editing php files)
