We are running 6 MOODLEs (version 1.1.1) on 6 Windows 2000 Advanced Server running Easy PHP 1.6 & 1.7, some with single procs, some with dual XEONS----
The backup/restore function will not work unless the following are strictly followed.
1. From the admin / configure variable page, the path to the ZIP/UNZIP MUST be deleted, even though MOODLE states that this path only refers to UNIX!!!!!!! We can recreate the backup problem by renetering a path in this feild a viola---the backup process fails---!!!
2. We can backup, but can not restore large courses (especially ones with alot of quiz questions) using any version of Internet Explorer (Vers. 5-6). As soon as we switch to a MOZILLA based browser, we can complete the restore functions!!!. In some cases, the restore function can take as long as 30 minutes!
Just my 2 cents-----Rob
