I am testing a sandbox setup. Moodle 2.7 Running on a windows 2008R2 server with MySQL.
In order to backup courses greater than 4Gb I have added an Ubuntu server. This is connected to the MySQLdatabase on the Windows server and also has the Moodle data folder mounted.
I am using automated_backups.php running on the Ubuntu server at the moment being manually started from the command line.
All courses Including those above 4Gb are backing up correctly. The script is picking up settings such as Skip courses not modified since 365 days, Store in course backup filearea and use course name in backup filename from the Automated backup setup page.
The only problem I have is that I have the backup_auto_keep set to 2 but only the latest backup appears in the course automated backups. The older one is being moved to trash.
Is this because my courses are unchanged since the last backup?
All courses modified it the last 365 days are being backed up every time I run the backup. The console shows me some that are skipped because they have not been modified in the last 365days.
