Hi, Dan.

In the tab "Standard backups" the parameter "id" which is generated in the URL "/user/profile.php?id=" is incorrect.

Thanks Ricardo - feel free to report that to the issues tracker on github and we'll try to get to that at some point.
thanks!

Greetings, I would like to know if the plugin can delete courses, what is the difference in the archive area between courses and backup? Thank you

This plugin does not delete courses, it allows you to see a list of all Moodle backups stored on your site no matter where they are stored, and allows you to delete/download or start a restore process to restore the course into your site.

When I try to install the release 0.1.2, the release 0.1.0 gets installed. (No update is available.) Is that intended?

@Uwe - take a look at the supported versions - 0.1.2 only supports Moodle 3.10 and higher - I suspect it's grabbing a different version becauase you are using an older Moodle release.

Hi,

When I turn on debug mode I got this message error on page "/report/allbackups/index.php":

"...
get_all_user_name_fields() is deprecated. Please use the \core_user\fields API instead

@Ricardo - please make sure you are always using the correct version of the code - our latest code for all our plugins will be in github - see the readme file for which git branch supports which Moodle version. It sounds like you have an older version of the plugin installed for a previous Moodle release.

Hi,

You are right.

Using v.0.1.2 for Moodle 3.10

The correct one is v0.1.2 foi Moodle 3.11 - shouldn't be v0.1.3?

Anyone else getting 504 Gateway Timeout errors when trying to export results to a file? I am testing the plugin version 0.1.2 on Moodle version 3.9.13 (build 20220314).

Hi, just a short question: is there a possibility to import the export of mbz files into another moodle? Or does the plugin only collect exports? Thank you for you reply.

@Annie - this plugin just provides a report that allows you to access the course backup files stored across your site and bulk delete/bulk download or trigger a restore - it does not allow you to import backups from an external location.

A suggestion for additional functionality. Could the plugin also have an option to move backups to a specified location on the server. For example a Moodle-archive directory. This would allow, for example, all backups from a specified academic year (which have been created on our site using the automated backup feature) to be moved into a specific archive location. We would then delete those courses from our live environment. If the plugin could have an additional tab as it does when auto-backups are set to store in a specified location, which displays only those stored within the archive directory and the ability to restore any of those as required.

Hi Dan,

This is a wonderful tool. It is good to use it regularly to delete backups. I am using it in Moodle 4.3, where I can see all backups and able to delete them.

The point I am facing is that I am deleting about 7 GB of backups, but they do not seem to be affecting the size on disk, when checked folders, there are more than 7 GB in the trashdir. I tried different settings of the recycle bin like reducing the time and to disable it, but could not remove them.

Is there anything wrong here?
Is there any way to remove them in the Moodle interface? Or should I remove the trashdir manually?

Thanks,

@Ezzeddin - file deletion in Moodle goes through a few processes - a better place for that question is in the moodle community forums so that people can respond in more detail to your questions.
