Re: Backup doesn't appear for restore

Have a 4.2.6+ sandbox server on Linux.

Unfortunately, All Backups plugin shows compatibility up to 4.1
https://moodle.org/plugins/report_allbackups/versions

However, it did install in my 4.2.6+ without complaints.
This to say, am gonna assume it will work.

I have had auto backups turned on in my sandbox.   Am doing that
now to see what the plugin will show.

As usual, with many things moodle, one cannot find everything one needs in one place.
And, having command line access to the site is a very big advantage.

From what you have described your settings for auto backups will save the backups
made to the sea of files in moodledata/filedir/ and those file names are not humanly
recognizable.
One can see that via a query of the mdl_files table:
From mysql client prompt or from phpmyadmin, run the following queryY

mysql> select contenthash,component,filearea,filename,filesize from mdl_files where filename like'%.mbz';

In display of what is found, the filearea column should have 'automated' and looks
like (yours won't have same course names):

| 46748d35203c71b26e1a6938f70349c8b53324b9 | backup       | automated | backup-moodle2-course-6-ktnoclas2-20240402-0625.mbz    | 33681272 |
| 1fe426a26c6ad652540bf78e30470891eaea8ea4 | backup       | automated | backup-moodle2-course-1-mdl42sb-20240402-0625.mbz      |     3978 |
| aa3732b1be3ec66fee3985cf1d9accb54ef180e7 | backup       | automated | backup-moodle2-course-2-ktnoclas-20240402-0625.mbz     | 33681466 |
| 172d08ff3a45dc95677c1343b78b87ab4bc53944 | backup       | automated | backup-moodle2-course-9-mdlsampler-20240402-0625.mbz   | 67305145 |

and when looking at course reuse restore for mdlsampler course, I do see a backup I could
restore.

See screen shot.

All I can tell you at this point is to review all the settings for Autobackup.
