The following explains how to transfer the content of a classroom from the course 2023-24 to a classroom in the 2025-26 course. The same procedure could be used for any classroom in any available academic course, such as 2024-25 – although in the case for the 2024-25 course we strongly recommend the activation with material copy.

First of all it’s necessary to have an empty Moodle classroom in the 2025-2026 academic course. Please follow these instructions.

 

Steps to follow

1. Backup of the previous academic year’s classroom
2. Restore the backup to the current academic year’s classroom

 

Step 1. Backup of the previous academic year’s classroom

In order to transfer the material:

• Login into Virtual Campus (https://cv.uab.cat).
• Click on Previous academic year (23-24).

 

• Clic on the specific Moodle classroom.

 

• Click More on the main course page. And select the Course reuse option.

 

• Click Import to see the options and select Backup.

 

• In the following steps, you’ll be able to decide what to include in the backup. Remember: No users or personal information will be transferred.
  • If you want to back up the entire classroom, click the Jump to final step button at the bottom of the page. Depending on the volume of material, this may be a time-consuming process.
  • If you want to select only a few items, click Next and follow the prompts.

 

• Finally click the Continue button.

 

Download into your computer the .mbz file, clicking on Download link.

 

 

Step 2. Restore the backup to the current academic year’s classroom

• Now you have to access to the destination moodle classroom in the 2025-2026 academic course, from Campus, by clicking on New academic year (25-26). If it’s lost, access https://cv.uab.cat.

 

• Click on the destination classroom.

 

• From the main page of the course clik the More link and look for the option Course reuse. Click to access it.
  

 

• Select the Restore option.

 

• Upload the previously generated .mbz file, clicking on the Choose a file button, on drag and drop the file on the box.
  

 

• Click on the Restaure. If the backup (.mbz file) is bigger than 300Mb, contact with CAS (cas@uab.cat).
• A long page will be loaded. Go to the end of the page and click on the Continue button.
• Then click on Continue button from the Restore into this course section. Don’t change the default option Merge the backup course into this course.

 

• In the next step (Settings), click on the Next button and don’t change any option.
• In the next step (Schema), click on the Next button and don’t change any option.
• In the next step (Review), click on the Perform restore button (placed at the end of the page).
• In the next step (Proceso), click on the Continue button. Ignore the warning message that appears in red. Depending on the material volume, can be a slow process. A progress bar will appear.
  

 

• Click on the Continue button to finish the process.
