Backup a Course:

1. Log in to Moodle and open the course you want to backup.

2. Click on the Admin gear in the upper right of the course page.

3. Click on the Backup link. (Note: All courses are backed up automatically on a weekly basis.)

4. Select the settings you would like to include for your backup, and click Next.

5. The next page will show you more details about the backup file you are creating and give you options to include or exclude topic sections from your backup. Click Next.

Note: This page may take a long time to load, depending upon how much material you have in the course.

6. Rename the Backup File using the textbox at the top of the page. (optional)

7. Click Perform Backup near the bottom of the screen.

8. The backup will be performed. When finished, a Continue button will appear, which will redirect you to the Restore section in the Administration block. This section displays a list of your backups along with their dates and sizes.
