Hello,
Currently, I am using Moodle default Back UI / CLI script to back up courses.
When I have to do lot of back up, I have to definitely us the CLI script for the back up.
But, there is a issue I am facing here, user.xml file is being included in the course backup, this is not required for me, How can I modify the CLI script so as to avoid this inclusion of user.xml file???
thanks in advance...
regards
Check Backup Default settings. Users are included by default.
Site administration -> Courses -> Backups -> General backup defaults
Turn that off.
The CLI backup script reads/uses that config and cannot override via CLI switch of any kind.

Thank you very much sir.. That was really very helpful...
And any way to give custom name to the backup file???
Thanks again
Explain ... 'custom name'.
There are options in same setup of defaults for backups --- include course ID ... include short name, etc.

Hmmm ... guess my memory is faulty. :\ So just checked a 3.7.highest moodle. That option is in autobackups config. Sorry 'bout that!
In the GUI backup, 3rd step in one is presented with a confirmation/review page. The filename ... like ... backup-moodle2-course-136-mdlsampler-20190924-1108.mbz ...
could be renamed there.
CLI:
[root@server cli]# php backup.php
Perform backup of the given course.
Options:
--courseid=INTEGER Course ID for backup.
--courseshortname=STRING Course shortname for backup.
Anything else, guess one could hack core code .... not advised, BTW ... and can't help ya there!
