For some reason the Automated Course Backup is ignoring my "Skip courses not modified since" setting.
We upgraded from 2.5 to 2.7 a week ago and I wanted to see how much disk space would be needed to enable this feature. So, in a test environment I'm manually running the automated_backups.php in CLI but noticed that everything but hidden courses are being backed up, when there should be very few. Are there other requirements for this option to work properly?
My setting for Site Admin > Courses > Backups > Automated backup setting:
- Active = Manual
- Schedule = Wednesday (not that it matters in this case)
- Execute at = 0:5 (again, doesn't matter in manual mode)
- Automated backup storage = Course backup filearea
- Save to = (blank)
- Keep = 1
- Use course name in backup filename = Yes
- Skip hidden courses = Yes
- Skip courses not modified since = 3 days
- Skip courses not modified since previous backup = Yes
- Include.. = all defaults
