Hello everyone! We need to export courses complete of users. Our version is Quince. Could someone kindly share the procedure? Thank you!
Hi Nadia,
Can you please clarify? In Studio you can export course structure and content, but not user information. But in the LMS, in the instructure dashbard, data download menu you have many options to export user data. What exactly do you want to achieve?
Hey, to backup everything the easiest solution would be copying the tutor/ and tutor-plugins/ catalogs in ~/.local/share/ (unless your tutor config printroot location is different). This way you can port a whole platform with it’s data between machines or fully recover it from that saved state :). Make sure to save config.yml (though it’s included in the beforementioned catalogs) as that file contains the keys for your databases.
When it comes to more granular exports I suppose you’d have to search through the available /.manage.py lms/cms ... commands. Course exports are available via the web UI in studio but that does not cover users if I remember correctly.

Thank you Andrés:
we would like to know if we can export a MOOC with course structure, content and users (with their progress in the course and their data) so that we can import it in edx complete with all this information, as we do in Moodle when we make a back up and restore of the course with enrolled users.
Thank you Jakub, we’re looking for a solution to get the same results that we have using back up and restore with users in Moodle platform.
Hey Nadia,
Unfortunately it is not possible to backup and restore user information in Open edX on a per course basis. If it’s just to backup your site, you can run do it at site database level using Tutor or a plugin. I wonder what’s your use case, as maybe your problem can be solved in another way rather than data backup.
