Merge two moodle instances with user-data
Problem Statement:
I want to merge 2 moodle instances
- Merge includes user, user-data, courses, assignments & submissions, etc.
- The first site is running on Moodle version 2.8 & the second one has Moodle version 3.9.1.
- I want to backup all the mentioned data & restore it to the second site.
I have the following queries:
- Will course backup/restore with user-data able to create missing users on the second site?
- What if courses/ users already exist in a new instance?
- Will backup/restore include submission files (like images)?
- Is there any other better solution for merging data on two different moodle instances?
- What precautions need to be taken before/while proceeding with backup/restore?
