Bulk Restore from CSV - courses not quite as expected

Hi

I am trying to create numerous courses via the CSV Bulk Course Upload facility, however I seem to experience some problems once the courses are restored.

Here's what happens:

1. After uploading the CSV file, I then upload the Backup course file

2. However, Moodle also asks me for some information about the course - Type, Sections etc.

Should this not be taken from the backup file?

3. All courses are restored, however their appearance is different. Yes it may use the Grid format (which I specified) but it loses settings such as Grid Size, border colour etc. Blocks are also not laid out as they were in the original course.

This means I then have to go in and tweak all the settings for each course and re-arrange/delete the blocks.

It takes far longer for me to do this than to manually restore a course, which I know will look exactly like the original course.

Am I doing something wrong in the Bulk Upload settings? Or is this the expected behaviour?

Thanks in advance!

Dan
