New features

- The backup process has been made a lot more efficient, making it possible to backup very large courses
- 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
- Backup files have a distinctive .mbz extension to avoid confusion with .zip files
