My Moodle server broke, since the HDD stopped working.
The only backup I have left is a MYSQL dump file of the whole Moodle database. I only really need the quizzes, since there are hundreds of quizzes generated throughout the years.
The Moodle in question was an older version, probably last upgraded in 2008.
What are my options?
1) Install an old version of Moodle and connect to the restored database? Will this work? Can I figure out from the dump what version of Moodle I was using?
2) Recreate the database and just copy the quiz tables to the new Moodle instalation? This won't work right?
3) Somehow parse the quizzes from the dump file to XML and import to a new version of Moodle on a new server?
