Can I restore v3.0 courses into v3.6?

Hello, I've been on hold using version 3.0 while preparing a new server setup using AWS Lightsail, where I'll install a fresh copy of v3.6 once it's stable. Any problems restoring 3.0 courses into 3.6?

Thanks in advance,
Robert

No problem - restoring backups from older versions is always supported. (But not the other way around).

Hi Robert,

Depends on what you're trying to backup/restore from a course but in my experience no version related problems. But the best thing to do is to try it. Just do it. smile

Cheers,

Johan

Yeh - the only proviso is that if you had optional plugins (that support backup and restore) in the source Moodle that are not in the destination Moodle  then you can get some odd results. 

However, that's nothing to do with the versions - just asking to restore something that there is no code for.
