We have written (still in final testing) a bulk archive and delete tool for 1.9 which backs up courses to a specified folder and appends the username (or other field) of all instructors to the filename. It then allows instructors to bulk delete all courses which have been successfully backed up.
This also works in concert with our simplified restore tool, which searches for archives based on username (or other field) and allows instructors to restore these otherwise non-accessible courses.
We do this so instructors do not have the ability to download course archives onto unprotected computers.

Where can we dowload the bulk archive and delete tool. We use 1.9 and would love to give it a shot.

I posted our latest code to the tracker along with some descriptions of what the system is and what it does.

I'd love to add bulk restores to ours, but we don't have that need as instructors like the control our system gives them. besides, they only have to click one button do restore any of their old courses into the current course.
