Hi
We are currently making final preparations for a big project rolling out from January 2015 until the end of December 2016. Having a disaster and accidental data loss policy in place (tried and tested) are of utmost importance in the event of such.
We are covered in terms of disaster recover with daily backups. The problem is when one of our administrators by accident delete a course with training related data. We are more than prepared to run weekly course backups to mitigate such a risk. However, I am having trouble with the restore of these backups.
I see there are a few options when restoring a course, but non of them seems to allow me to restore the course with the user data. There is always a conflict with the users, where the users already exists in the system.
How can I restore the course with the training records for the users?
We also have an archive policy in place where a course will be deleted from the system when it reaches it's shelve life. Before we delete them we want to backup the course and if needed be able to restore the course with it's student training records. As explained above, we will have the same problem.
I hope there is a way of doing this, otherwise making a backup with the user data is kind off pointless.
Looking forward to your experienced advise and recommendations.
Kind Regards
