Re: Moodle 4.2.2 - Restore not working, where to delete running restores?

0 backups is risky business!

Site backup ... bet the lions share of site backup is moodledata/filedir/ - making a tar.gz of that takes too long, so there is a 'better' way ... rsync it - progressively - that makes a mirror of it really.   So you will need same space filedir currently uses.

man rsync - if you have the online manual installed will show commands and options.

Course backups ... could be done with moosh ... did you get moosh working?  moosh backup command in a looping bash shell script that loops through course ID's.   In your case with 18,000 courses plus, you might need to evenly divide the course ID files into 1/7's - one per day - and yes, that would take a week to complete for all courses but you have something then ... which is better than nothing!

Using git?

Just today:

$release  = '4.2.2+ (Build: 20230920)'

When one is on the 'leading edge', best to be able to get fixes ASAP - IMHO!
