Ken,
Thank you for the reply. I've seen scouring through the forums on here for different fixes, you have a lot of experience and insight.
To your questions. I inherited the environment, so I'm still finding my way around. This is my first job in the Educational environment, and my first run in with Moodle. If I'm leaving anything lacking, please let me know.
It's a locally hosted server. Currently running 2008R2 Virtual Server in a 2008 R2 Hyper-V environment. IIS7, PHP 5.3.10, and SQL2008. This environment was limping along and crashing a lot. Recent upgrade was 3 steps.
1.) Moving from a SQL server also running in a HyperV session, to a 2008 Cluster running SQL Enterprise.
2.) Allocating 16GB of Memory and 4 processing cores to the Moodle server.
3.) Upgraded from 2.2 to 2.5.
Checking permissions. What user needs access to that directory? Right now, I have Creator Owner, System, Administrators, Users, and DefaultAppPool. Right now, IIS is configured to have IUSR to run Moodle. Is this the user that needs rights? Or is there a Moodle user that needs them instead? In so far as what's in the Temp/Backup directory, there are couple files and a directory matching one of our classes. But unfortunately not the one I'm trying to work with. It appears the cron job is trying to perform backups?
At this point, I have 0 confidence in any backup that has run on this system. All the log files point to backups being skipped. I can not backup nor import any class. I know the SQL side is backing up fine, but from that I gather, that's about 1/2 of what I actually need to protect.
I'm figuring that if I solve the "Can I back this class up?" problem, it will solve the "Can I import this class?" problem. Is that assumption correct?
Looking at the mdl_backup_controllers table, there are 3350 rows, 2789 in mdl_backup_courses. Something definitely seems to be amiss.
