[Moodle] How do I back up my moodle?

[Stephen Bloomer]

The Techs should have moved your course and data for you as part of the
process.  It must be easier and safer for one person to mover all the
courses than for lots of people to move their own. I think your Techs
will get lots of help calls over that one.

Have you ever had a student tell you that they lost their homework? Or
that they could not hand in the work because they were home sick on the
day that your class was on?  Load the homework onto your Moodle course
and the students can download it at any time of the day or night.  Get
them to hand in their homework via Moodle and they can hand it in even
when you do not have that class. No more excuses, just results (the
Moodle way).

Subject: [Moodle] How do I back up my moodle?

Hi all.....
Desperate to not repeat the errors of last year where I lost
everything.... the techs have moved my Moodle site to a new server (why
I have no idea) and installed the latest version.
Now they want to move the info over.... last year when they did this I
lost nearly everything I had put on... and I don't really want to start
all over again....
How do I back up my stuff (the whole site) and move it over to the new
server without losing data????
Any help??
Cheers
Suz
PS... I would have thought they would move the site, then run the
upgrade.... but that is not what they have done. I suggested they join
in the Moodle moot on the weekend, but have had no interest. I can't
make it due to family commitments.
