https://moodle.org This is a Moodle plugin that facilitates the backup and restoration process of courses. The plugin performs backups of Moodle courses and automatically transfers them to a configured FTP server, as well as organizes the backups by Moodle categories, making backup management more efficient. The plugin also offers a tool to restore courses directly from the FTP server.

I have installed and configured the plugin, and everything seems to be set up correctly.<br> <br> However, after I select the courses from the report page and start the backup process, nothing seems to happen—no .mbz files ever appear on the FTP server. My main issue is that, unlike the screenshots on the Moodle.org plugin page, I cannot find any interface to see the backup queue or monitor the progress of the tasks.<br> <br> I have already performed the following troubleshooting steps:<br> <br> Confirmed my Moodle cron is running correctly every minute, and the scheduled task for your plugin (\local_backupftp\task\backup_task) is executing. The task history shows successful runs, but with no output message.<br> <br> Enabled Moodle's Developer-level debugging, but no errors are shown on screen when I run the task.<br> <br> Checked the main Moodle logs, and there are no relevant errors recorded.<br> <br> Manually tested the exact same FTP credentials using an FTP client (FileZilla). I can connect, and I have full write permissions to upload files to the destination folder.<br> <br> Could you please let me know where I should be able to see the backup queue/progress page? Is it possible that this feature is located somewhere else or is not available on my version of Moodle?<br> <br> Thank you for your time and any help you can provide.</div></div></p> https://moodle.org/plugins/local_backupftp#comment-88431 https://moodle.org/plugins/local_backupftp#comment-86024 Mon, 13 Jan 2025 15:00:14 GMT by Plugins bot. &nbsp;<p><div class="no-overflow"><div class="text_to_html">Approval issue created: <a title="Auto-link to Moodle Tracker" href="https://moodle.atlassian.net/browse/CONTRIB-9797" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">CONTRIB-9797</a></div></div></p> https://moodle.org/plugins/local_backupftp#comment-86024
