Activity backup

Activity Backup

Backing up individual activities

• It is possible to make a copy or backup of individiual activities in a Moodle course and then re-use these activities in a different Moodle site or in a different course on the same Moodle. (Note that if you wish to re-use activities within the same Moodle it might be simpler to use the import function. See Import course data for information on how to do this.
• To make a backup of an activity, ensure you are logged in with editing rights, as a teacher for example, and click on the activity you wish to backup. The settings block to the side will have a link Backup as with the assignment in the following screenshot:

• In the next screen, check/tick the type of item you wish to backup - in this case, just activities

• Click Next and on the next screen, check the activity you wish to backup - in this case, our assignment:

Backing up whole courses

• It is also possible to make a copy or backup of a whole course and re-use it elsewhere. See Course backup for information on how to do this.
