Hello,
Sorry for not including this right away, I have not run into a problem I havent been able to solve before - I am still learning. so debugging gives me some very valuable information:
Warning: require_once(/home/cobosorg/public_html/moodle/mod/attendance/backup/moodle2/backup_attendance_settingslib.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/cobosorg/public_html/moodle/mod/attendance/backup/moodle2/backup_attendance_activity_task.class.php on line 27
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/cobosorg/public_html/moodle/mod/attendance/backup/moodle2/backup_attendance_settingslib.php' (include_path='/home/cobosorg/public_html/moodle/lib/zend:/home/cobosorg/public_html/moodle/lib/pear:.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in/home/cobosorg/public_html/moodle/mod/attendance/backup/moodle2/backup_attendance_activity_task.class.php on line 27
Clearly the trouble is with my attendance module, also recently upgraded. I think that means that I am now in the wrong forum. I will continue to try to sort this out
