Re: Done with backup/restore

Good news. I was able to effect a backup using CLI. It wasn't verbose at all but it did report a success. I'm now attempting a GUI restore to a new course and it's stuck at 13.91% even after 30 minutes.  Incidentally, during the CLI backup, I couldn't specify my own backup directory since the server has some unique permissions applied but I was able to make it work using the defaults (specifying no command line switches for backup's destination). Hopefully restore works the same way.

I'm glad to know that you are working some BIG projects! I'm using SCORM modules because I can't get the same kind of high quality content without it.

I determined the course size based on the size of the backup files. Sometimes it freezes for hours but, if I return to the main page of Moodle, then navigate to the backups section, the .mbz file is magically there. I don't know if it actually finished writing the zip file correctly though. The earlier today backup was 1.9gb and the one I just did via CLI was also 1.9 GB.

Yes.. the SCORM courses are HTML5 compatible. It's really nice to have something using an industry standard that is universally supported.

"Are you using file system repos for those SCORM's and linking via 'aliases'?"
I really have no idea what this means  

Here's the server info... I think there's about 70GB of disk space free.
