Hi Joseph,
Thanks for your quick response. Yes, have tried the full range of options and each exhibits the same behaviour. I have also tried between courses ie. a new course on a secnd Moodle on the production server.
Production server is Linux - CPanel/WHM with MySQL 5.5.31 and PHP 5.3.22
Development server - Mac OS 10.8.4 PHP 5.3.15, MySQL 5.6.1---
In the end, I simply added a password to the lesson then went through the backup/restore again with no issues.
Thanks, also, for removing from the Lesson forum.
