Hi Folks,
Hoping someone can give me advice and information. We have been with moodle since 1.2 and are now on 2.2. I think in that time the database has been clogged up so before moving to 2.3 I would like some questions answered if possible.
I think the best option would be to install 2.3 and restore backups from 2.2 (this will be on a different server). Do you agree?
I have never done a backup and restore as we have never needed to and have always simply upgraded so I am rather nervous about taking this option.
Is it possible to restore the courses into 2.3 make sure everything is working correctly before restoring students and their work? Or does this have to happen at the same time?
We have meta courses which use assignments, forums and glossaries all of which contain HTML. Does anyone know if the HTML will be preserved or not?
Is there anything I need to watch out for on restoring meta-courses (in fact do I restore the course or the meta course or both)?
Can anyone think of anything I've missed that I need to be aware of?
Many thanks for any help you can give.
