GIT is a distributed source code management system. For the purpose of this document, GIT's basic feature is that it allows to keep the whole history of a directory tree and track all changes. The basic idea of using GIT as a backup tool is that you can clone you moodledata directory on other disk and/or computer.
Transform your moodledata into the git repository:
git init git add . git commit -m "Initial commit of moodledata"
Create a backup clone on local machine, e.g. on a separate disk
git clone --no-hardlinks --bare /srv/www/data/moodle_cz/.git datamoodle_cz.git
