Re: Done with backup/restore

Ken, I want to give you my sincere thank you for helping solve this most daunting problem. I was very very impressed by the timeliness and "resolution" of your replies. One of the biggest obstacles of open-source software adoption is the lack of good documentation and support. One of the better examples are Linux Mint, Ubuntu Linux, and the documentation found at Digital Ocean. Like those, you were very detailed to always answer the who, what, when, and where. I appreciate your detailed answers in that respect. I was able to connect the dots only because of this assistance.

For the benefit of others, if you have large SCORM modules or large courses in general, don't bother with the Moodle web GUI. Go straight to command line as Ken is doing. There is a backup.php script and via another plugin called "moosh", a restore PHP script. Commandline overcomes the execution limitations imposed on web CGIs. Moodle will error out in countless variations which are not verbose. It will just hang. But, if you use these commandline functions, that will not happen. Without Ken's mentioning of this, I could not have accomplished what I needed to do.

Ken, you ought to be making design choices in Moodle! Your expertise is self evident and I can tell you've been in the education industry for quite some time.
