Doug, (@digidoug) the author “Reflections on Distributed Learning” (http://distlearn.wordpress.com/), published a quick post that highlights the process of restoring a previous term or year’s Moodle backup file.

Here’s a link to the great post: http://distlearn.wordpress.com/2010/08/30/restoring-last-years-moodle-backup/

Doug also created a handy video  to show the process: http://screencast.com/t/M2FiOWQ3ZTU

This process goes well with the backup files you can get through MoodleShare (as highlighted in today’s earlier post): http://www.moodlenews.com/2010/new-at-moodleshare-11-more-courses/
