I am very interested in this discussion because I am preparing to do a backup/restore of a course from one site to another. The course I'm copying has dozens of quizzes with a total of 1800 quiz questions and lots of images.
I made the backup. It seems to contain EVERYTHING from the course. For example, it contains all the files in the files area, including uploaded images used in quizzes. That's good: I wouldn't want to have to copy my images separately and re-insert them into 1800 quiz questions!
I'm planning to do my restore into course #1 (the moodle "
front page," which is also a course). I do this so that my image files become
site files, visible to every course on the site. The backup is from a course which is not #1.
Will this work, or will it blow up the target site
?
FYI the source moodle is version 1.5.4 and the target is moodle 1.6+.
Thanks in advance for your advice!
