| Moodle has a course backup and restore process. Each successive version of Moodle has offered more options in this process. Many Moodle site administrators turn on an automated backup function, which does a full course backup on a schedule. The on demand backup and restore functions can be found in the administrative block of a course.

| An administrator or user with appropriate permissions can use the backup restore functions to create, transfer or restore parts of an existing course or a whole course.

| ==Role mappings==
| |
| {{Moodle 1.7}}
| |
| The procedure of restoring a 1.6 or older course to a 1.7 site requires additional role mapping information to be entered (on Screen 3). Since Moodle 1.7 has a dynamic roles system, it is possible to map the old roles (i.e. editing teachers, non-editing teachers and students) onto any new roles. By default, Moodle 1.7 looks for legacy roles to map intelligently, for example students in 1.6 are mapped onto the 1.7 legacy student role.
| |
| | |
| When restoring a 1.7 course to a 1.7 site, Moodle compares the role shortname string and pre-selects the same for you. As a result, if you are restoring within the same site, you don't have to worry about selecting what roles to map onto.
| |
| | |
| Role options are determined by what you can assign in the current context (course or site). For example, if you have the teacher role in a 1.7 course, you will not be able to map students onto admins in the restored course. There is also an option to create new roles to map onto.
