I downloaded a new copy of XAMPP and installed Moodle using Bitnami. The version they had available was 2.7.2, so I'm back to that. Given that
- I am able to restore Moodle 2.5.1 backups to the Moodle 2.7.2 local host without issue, but not 2.7.1 backups.
- I am able to restore 2.7.1 backup file that won't load into Moodle 2.7.2 to my 2.7.1 production site without any issue.
The only conclusion I can come to is that Moodle 2.7.2 doesn't like Moodle 2.7.1 backups. Sounds ludicrous, but I can't think of any other explanation.
