| ==Backup and restore from 1.9 to 2.0==
| |
| | |
| It is not currently possible to backup a course on a 1.9 site and restore it to a 2.0 site, however the functionality will be available in a forthcoming 2.0.x release. In the meantime, a workaround is to upgrade the 1.9 site to 2.0. It is possible to restore a 1.9 course to a 2.1 site.

| | |
| ==Tips and tricks==
| |
| * Lose content after a restore in Moodle 2.0 ? Do you see topic headings that say "Orphaned activities"? Solution: Go to course settings and increase the number of topic sections and things will return to normal.
