Unfortunately, MoodleCloud does not have a recycle bin feature. Having course backup files and a copy of your significant resources is recommended. If you need help, Contact the MoodleCloud Team for more information.
It's important to regularly create and download backups of your courses, users, and files for future use. These backups can help restore deleted content if needed. To restore a course, you can use the backup stored within the course or, if the course was deleted, upload a previously downloaded backup file to a new course. Store these downloaded backups safely for easy restoration when necessary.
Please note the upload limit of 250MB applies to course restoration files - if your course is larger than this you may need to remove large files - then create a course backup file, and save your large files separately, before downloading the backup file.
Course Backup
- Visit each individual course and from the Course Navigation options, click More
- Click Course Reuse and click on the course you want to Backup
- Initial settings - Select activities, blocks, filters and other items as required then click the Next button.
- Schema settings - Select/deselect specific items to include in backup, then click the Next button.
- Confirmation and review - Check that everything is as required, using the Previous button if necessary, otherwise click the 'Perform backup' button
- Complete - Click the Continue button
- A backup file (with distinctive .mbz extension to avoid confusion with .zip files) is then saved in the course backup area. Backup file names are of the form backup-moodle2-course-coursename-date-hour.mbz, ending in -nu.mbz when backed up with no users and -an.mbz with anonymized names.
- Tip: If you are satisfied with the default settings and don't wish to go through all the backup screens, you can simply click 'Jump to final step' to perform the backup.
Course Restore
- From Site Administration > Courses, click Restore Course (if you have admin or category permissions) or Course navigation > More > Course reuse > Restore if you are restoring into a course.
