    The backups created by this tool won't contain the course files. I got excessive small backup sizes, and then i compared the ones that i created manually. I have a course with a scorm whose size is 637MB when executed manually. The tool's backup is 32kb and won't contain course files. Am i missing something?

    The backups is created belive the default config in your site for the backup config.

    You can review that config!

    I have found that the backups created by this plugin do not include any course files, even though they are included in the Default Course Backup settings.

    The resulting backup files are very small (usually around 4.2 MB) compared to 136 MB or more with a manual course backup. This unfortunately makes this plugin unusable for most cases.
