I have some extra tables I created as part of a theme and course format, in Moodle 2.3, used for implementing a custom hierarchical page-based layout. I don't know if I shot myself in the foot or not doing it this way, but now I need to include these with my course backups, but since it's not a block or activity, it doesn't get saved that way. How do I resolve this? I've been looking through the docs (e.g. http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Backup_2.0_for_developers) and I'm still confused. Would I want to create a separate block or activity that uses this data, or perhaps saves it in a serialized form? Any suggestions?
