Manual Backup for MOodle Cloud

We are using moodle cloud and I was wondering if someone could tell me how to setup a manual backup.

I go to Administration < Courses but when I change the first setting to Manual and hit save it defaults back to disabled.

Could someone please provide me with some useful instructions.

I believe that you can back up individual courses (it works for me.)  But maybe others will be able to point you to other solutions.

(So, I can develop a course in MoodleCloud, and then move it to a production environment, for example.)

In MoodleCloud, the setting for whether automated backup is disabled, enabled or manual is defined as 'disabled’ in config.php, and therefore locked and cannot be changed by you. When you try to change it, it will revert to 'disabled' when you save the changes.

As Rick says though, you can take a backup of any course individually by going to Course Administration > Backup
