Excellent. Thanks for reporting back.

I have an additional patch that solves a problem with users with
single quotes in their nicknames (the name you pick on your XO).

cheers,

Martin,

Moodle UI is picking up on the back ups now.

Thanks you so much for quickly updating the moodle backup ui.

Best,

 Thanks, sorry I don't have a lot of activities to backup yet on my test
 SoaS.

 I'll give this a go today and report back the results here.

 So I need your help in reporting whether it works well for your SoaS

 pull will get you the right code... ;-)

 Note: It won't list metadata-only entries. If there's no 'data'

This is the directory for a specific user - showing the hard-linked

was completed. The little '+' sign means that they have ACLs (the only
ACL is so that apache can read them).

Cool that you're starting to poke at the code :-)

 I'm not sure if this is an issue with the hacks I've made but I got an
 error in the moodle UI backup tab that says

 Problem opening /library/users//datastore-x/store

So you do have /library/users//datastore-x , but not the
'store' directory inside? Maybe your changes to the code on the XO
changed the rsync call?

cheers,

One quick note. I'm a bit hesitant about storing config in gconf. IIRC
the new sugar wants to hide everything there -- which means moderately
technical users won't have a means to modify it.

So I would prefer to consider moving to gconf values that have a clear
UI knob. Without the UI to change the value, moving things to gconf is
removing useful functionality (as in I can look at config files, add
comments, diff them, change them, back them up, put them under any
SCM) without an upside.

If there's a UI for it, there's a benefit. Has to be a good UI, one
that doesn't make mistakes, or the user is hosed. I still prefer
textfiles for configuration, but I'm on the losing side of that
argument it seems.

[ Everyone is in love with the Registry model which was a disaster
in VMS, later in WNT, and continues to add opacity, complexity and
dataloss adventures to this day. Please ignore the flamebait :-) ]

cheers,

 where  is the serial and  is the data and time when the backup
 was made.

 I looked at these directories in the XS and I could not a find a store
 folder or file in datastore-


Actually I think this happens, from my reading of the code, when there
haven't been any backups yet. You need to make sure the backup process has
run on the client side first.

Dave



 Any ideas ?
