Create a backup

PreviousBackupNextImport backup

Last updated 2 years ago

For security and procedural reasons, it is recommended that you create a backup copy of the complete contents of your course. This procedure is automated. It allows you to create either a complete backup or a partial backup, based on your selection of what to save, using a few simple clicks. To begin backup:

  • click on the Create backup link in the Backup and import section,

  • on the next page, select whether you want a full copy or just a selection of elements (in which case you will have to select them on the next page and click Validate),

  • click the Create backup button to launch the procedure.

Illustration: Maintenance – Backup creation

The backup is made available in the form of a compressed file which you can download on your computer. It is also stored on the server for quick restoration if needed.
