Teachers can choose whether to include activities, blocks or filters in the backup
Users with appropriate permissions, such as administrators, can choose whether to include users, user role assignments, user files, comments, user completion details, course logs and grade history in the backup
Users with appropriate permissions, such as administrators, can create a backup with anonymized user information
Teachers can easily select the whole course or specific sections or activities to backup
