Overview of this book

This updated fourth edition of the classic Moodle Administration guide has been written from the ground up and covers all the new Moodle features in great breadth and depth. The topics have also been augmented with professional diagrams, illustrations, and checklists. The book starts by covering basic tasks such as how to set up and configure Moodle and perform day-to-day administration activities. You’ll then progress to more advanced topics that show you how to customize and extend Moodle, manage authentication and enrolments, and work with roles and capabilities. Next, you'll learn how to configure pedagogical and technical Moodle plugins and ensure your LMS complies with data protection regulations. Then, you will learn how to tighten Moodle’s security, improve its performance, and configure backup and restore procedures. Finally, you'll gain insights on how to compile custom reports, configure learning analytics, enable mobile learning, integrate Moodle via web services, and support different types of multi-tenancy. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to set up an efficient, fully fledged, and secure Moodle system.

Summary

In this chapter, we dealt with various Moodle backup alternatives. You learned how to create course-level, site-level, and system-level backups, as well as how to perform data recovery from each type. Your Moodle backup strategy must fit in with your organization’s overall disaster recovery plan. We also saw some applications that use the covered backup and restore facilities.

Moodle offers a good range of backup and restore options. Ensure that they are configured correctly and run test recoveries to be on the safe(r) side. There is nothing worse than a false sense of security – that is, assuming that all your data is backed up when it isn’t!

In the next chapter, we will cover a collection of useful and not-so-useful Moodle admin tools.
