Hi,
I think if there is a basic course backup.php there should be a similar restore.php so you can be able to at least backup and restore files directly form the server without having to install other third party tools such as moosh.
I wrote one of my own trying to keep it simple and similar to the options provided by the admin/cli/backup.php
You are welcome to use it or make any thoughts/suggestions.
I 've made a git branch for it here.
I have tested it in version 3.8 but it should work with all others since it uses only moodle api's.
