Hello, I've a extrange problem whith the Moodle backup tool.  I mean, I have to make a backup of a course whith diferents database activities with images.  Well, I did the backup without errors, of all course and diferent backup for only a database activity.

Well, I restore the both copies, and I have the next problem, the backup don't have all the images of the activities.  In fact, the restore process creates the courses, activities and content; but it does not load the images of the database activities.

And my user needs to retrieve those images in another course with the same structure.

I have a couple of questions, how do I correct that problem? because it happens?

Thanks for your time

Hello,

If the images are included as database entries, then you need to include user data when making your backup.
