Export my MoodleCloud site

The Site Export feature allows you to export your MoodleCloud site at any time from your MoodleCloud Portal. 

This feature creates a database of the site with all of its files in MySQL or PostgreSQL that you can use to migrate to your own Moodle LMS server. A few things to note:

• Your site will be put on maintenance mode while the site export is processed;
• The site export process may take up to 24 hours, depending on the size of your site. If it's been in maintenance mode for longer than that, please Contact the MoodleCloud Team;
• You will receive an email with a download link when the export is complete;

Here’s how you can export your site: 

1. Log in to your MoodleCloud Portal;

2. Click on the Tools tab;

3. Select the desired database format from the drop-down menu;

4. Click on Export this site;

Migrating to a new server is a bit technical at the moment, so you may wish to enlist the help of your Moodle Certified Service Provider.

* Please note exporting your site will not cancel your subscription renewal.
* MoodleCloud subscriptions do not include assistance in migrating to a self-hosted server.
* MoodleCloud sites cannot import/restore site exports. MoodleCloud site exports are only used if you are migrating your content to a Moodle LMS site.
