Re: New courses not added to table mdl_backup_courses

There is room for improvement with Autobackups ... think those are in the works, but with your current version, one might have to 'adjust'.

Sharing what I do ... not saying it's the only way and would work in your case ... here goes:

In mdl_backup_courses what does laststatus column show?
1 should indicate 'success'.

Table rows should match the course id's .. at least those that meet
parameters of the setup of automatted backups - which are?

Depending upon number of courses and their backup size (which one gets by looking
at any previous backups), one might need to stop automatted bsckups and
break apart large courses from medium to small courses - whatever that means.

Have a server where about 6 courses are multimedia - lots and lots of.
Had to do as I suggested above ... those 6 courses would kill auto.

So, created a simple course id file for 'largecourses' (one liners with nothing but course id number), then looped through large course backup bash shell script via admin/cli/backup.php .. id numbers executing the cli backup.php file with a designated destination for 'largecourses' on a "large' partition/mount point.

The other courses, ditto cept to something sane.

Cron jobbed the large backups to take place on weekends.
Cron jobbed the others for like Monday - 12 midnight.

Ideal?  Nope!  But it works!
