Practice: Backing Up Last Semester's Courses

We are implementing a new maintenance procedure for all IDS Developers:




  1. Access all of your maintenance courses for the previous semester

  2. Make a backup of the course through it's LMS

  3. Create a "_backup" folder within the first level of the specific semester/course folder on our network drive (e.g. courses\clss\2100\IN\083_haynes_mosholder\backup)

  4. Download the backup to the "_backup" folder (in Bb Vista you must "Save as file" before downloading)

  5. Delete all old backup files

  6. Export the gradebook to the "_backup" folder



This should be done the 2nd week of each semester on the previous semester's courses

As of today, IDS no longer needs to download the gradebook. Service Center will be doing this through the course managers.
