[Moodle] Course recovery question

[Stebbing, Nicholas N]

Hi Robert,
 
  We had to do this a couple of weeks ago after the C drive in our server failed.
 
  All we did was reinstall the operating system then the web server (we were using Xampp).
  Then we copied the old Xampp folder over the new one. (Xampp was not running at the time and we made sure that the old drive letter matched the new location for the folder.)
 
  I didn't really expect it to work so easily, but it did. MySQL databases, FTP server accounts and moodle all restored.
 
Cheers,
 
Nick

Subject: [Moodle] Course recovery question



Hi folks,
I've been asked to recover/restore course data from the HDD of a Moodle
server.
Server has died but left files intact.

I have access to a hosted Moodle site for eventual restoration and use
of the course material
but I don't know how to identify and extract the course data. Moodle
version is 1.7.

Any help appreciated.

Regards,
Rob
