Moodle allows administrators, teachers and students to easily export calendars for backing up or syncing with other calendar software.

There are two methods for exporting a calendar in Moodle.

== To back up a calendar == [[Image:MoodleCalendarExport.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Moodle Calendar "Export calendar" and "iCal" buttons]]

* click the "Export calendar" button located on the bottom of calendar page
* select the items you wish to back up (select "All events" to back up the entire calendar)
* click "Export" when you are ready to export

Note: you can only export calendar events up to the next 60 days.

== To copy a calendar ==

For use on a device such as a PDA, or to import a Moodle calendar into software such as Apple iCal, Microsoft Outlook, or Mozilla Thunderbird:

* click on the orange "iCal" button located on the bottom of the calendar page
* alternatively, when using "Export calendar" clicking on "Get calendar URL" will provide you with a URL which can be used with other calendar software to sync with a Moodle calendar

Note: you cannot select individual items to include in the exported file with iCal, all events will be included.

You can then import the exported calendar into your desired software.

== Importing a Moodle Calendar into Mozilla Thunderbird/Lightning ==

* enter into calendar mode by clicking the Calendar icon at the bottom-right of the client
* click Calendar -> Import... then locate the exported iCal file

Note: changing an event in Thunderbird/Lightning will not change the event in a Moodle calendar as well, you must do that yourself.
