Looking further into this, the 2.5 doc says to:
- Delete old records from "backup_ids" table: Check the table exists, repair it and try again.
- Delete old records from "backup_files" table: Check the table exists, repair it and try again.
However, those tables do not exist in my Moodle database. There is a backup_ids_template and backup_files_template. Otherwise, I found the mdl_files table mentioned in this thread: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=224252
I ran: select * from mdl_files where "component" like 'backup'
It returned 2813 rows.
Running theory for a fix would be to clear out the backup files listed above in the mdl_files table, and clear out the mdl_backup_controllers tables? Has anyone done that before? Is that a terrible idea?
