Nice tool! Thanks.
Same as Miguel Ángel Sanz said: would be useful to have an extra optional parameter to perform a recursive subcategories search and backup, too.

Hi, Miguel. Not in the plugin. However, you can create a shell script, for example, using the commands provided by the plugin.

Hi!
Will this work with Moodle v4.x? (if not, are there any plans for an update?)
Thank you!

Bom dia, Paulo. Primeiramente parabéns e obrigado por manter essa ferramenta.

Eu realizei o backup da categoria 2 há um mes atras e tudo ocorreu sem problemas. No entanto, agora eu preciso restaurar o backup e estou recebendo o seguinte erro:
error/cannot_precheck_wrong_status

Pode me ajudar, por favor?

Obrigado.

Dear Rafael.

Someone is working to make category backup and restore available in the Moodle core: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=394427
Hence, we have not added new features in the "brcli" plugin. I encourgae you to visit the website above and check their proposal.

Best regards. Paulo.

Hi
Thank you for this very nice plugin!
2 Questions:
Is there a possibility to exclude user information from the backup, like uncheck "include enrolled users"?
Is the use of sudo -u www-data mandatory?
Best regards!

Hello,

This is a very interresting plugin while we plan to have a new Moodle server an bulk import courses.
But you should give more precisions on datas that are stored in the course backups.
There seems some user datas are integrated and some are not.
Could you please explain more precisely wich datas are stored in the kackup mbz ?
If it is possible to customize the datas backup while tweaking some of the code, please let me know how to do.

With great thanks for this admin tool plugin.

Kisses

Hey Paulo Junior, thanks a lot for this great tool and I managed to install it correctly and also to perform a backup and restore.

I need your help since I've reached a point in which I can't restore a course if it has questions in banks and quizzes. this is the error that it's given me when I try to restore it "Unknown setting: questionbank" (see code below).

Restoring backup of the 4/4 course...
instantiating restore controller 74a5d2834a969a7efadac492b1523d03
setting controller status to 100
loading backup info
loading controller plan
setting controller status to 300
applying restore defaults
Unknown setting: questionbank

However, when I tried to manually restore the backup file, It gave me the below three messages:
* The questions category "Default for 5th year", originally at system/course category context in backup file, will be created at course context by restore
* The questions category "Synthese 2015-2016", originally at system/course category context in backup file, will be created at course context by restore
* The questions category "top", originally at system/course category context in backup file, will be created at course context by restore

Noting that I am trying to restore this course in another category.

Please advise

Thanks!

Thanks Paulo. We haven't tried that, but since we are almost done it's not a big deal We are moving to a new LMS and so we will not be able to utilize the new feature in the core, although that sounds really handy. Thanks for your work on this! Obrigado por seu trabalho!

I understand Matthew. Did you try to back the 300mb course up using the Moodle user interface? Did it take about 15min as well?

This plugin (brcli) actually uses a Moodle API to backup each course. So, unfortunately I can't help you about the performance issue.

However, I know someone is working to make category backup and restore available in the Moodle core: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=394427
I encourgae you to visit the website above and check their proposal.

Best regards. Paulo.
