I'm very familiar with the basic concepts associated with Moodle backups. I was hoping to find, as
Peter provided, something specific that someone was actually doing and
felt comfortable using.
Peter's approach is in the documentation and referenced in the site, but it affords those just starting out a huge degree of comfort when someone says THIS is what I have been doing, it has been working and I can recommend it. There is also the issue of relevance. In order to be available to all users at all levels,Moodle docs and forums searches will often yield responses written to issues from as early as 2004 or so, and my goal is to always obtain insight from those using the current Moodle software and in production environs that more closely resemble those in use today.
If anyone could address how you manage offsite rotation / cloud storage I would be interested in that information as well.
