Backup & Restore method

This above method is the best option for most use cases. However if you wish to copy content from courses on different Moodle tenancies (e.g. from the moodle.napier.ac.uk to moodlecommunity.napier.ac.uk) you will need to use ‘Backup and Restore’.

Click the backup link and select the course items to be included in the backup file. Follow the prompts to create the backup file and then download it to your computer.

Now go to the course which is to receive the content and click the Restore link. Upload the backup file and click the restore button, and then follow the prompts to complete the restore process.
