[Year 12 IT Apps] OT: Moodle Help

[Gales, Graham W]

G'day all


I am seeking some help in using Moodle - in particular, the Backup/ Restore Function.

I have created a course on my Apple OSX notebook, made a backup, transferred the backup ZIP file to the school network and then asked to restore it into the school Moodle.  All worked as expected except the Restore.  The process started off correctly and then stopped midway.  No files, etc are restored at all.  Several attempts were made.

Conversely, a Backup/ Restore of a course from the School network onto my notebook works perfectly.  A Backup/ Restore within the confines of the network works perfectly.

I do note that the size of the ZIP files on the OSX machine seems to be larger than the Windows ZIP file size.

I have checked the forums at Moodle.org but have not (as yet) located any one with a similar problem or solution to such.

Does anyone have a suggestion/ solution/ reference that could help me? 

In order to keep traffic on the list on-topic and not overloaded, please reply to me personally -
