Backup and restore

I know that this is unlikely to be of any help to you whatsoever since I am on version 1.9.2 but we have always built a new moodle over the summer each year and then migrated the old data onto the new version in a new database. Isn't any kind of 'tech-savvy' answer but it does, like a good hard winter, clean out a lot of ongoing, never-seemingly-resolved bugs and psudo-viri type problems. With Christmas just around the corner is there any chance of a clean server? We use Virtual servers which are obviously easier - being offered - even perhaps short time so that you could effectively rebuild your Moodle over the next couple of weeks.   If you've done it one or twice on any old stand alone machine - I rescued an antique compac laptop that was lying in a corner to be got rid of - it really becomes virtually second nature after the first couple of times if you keep good notes - then migrate the data into the new database, then completely rebuild the original server and install perhaps a slightly later version onto the old box and remigrate the data back again.

The problem will perhaps have gone away - since so few people seem to be reporting/helping you with it and, in any case, you will then have a complete back-up/test server to try other experiments on. (I hope none of them are reading this 'cos the final trick - having done this two years age - is that I then 'forgot' to return the 'borrowed-over-Christmas' server - which is where my test moodle came from !!!!!)
