delete old directories and drop temp ids table. Note we delete
the directory but not the corresponding log file that will be

Structure step in charge of creating the main moodle_backup.xml file
where all the information related to the backup, settings, license and

define_structure()   X-Ref

define_execution()   X-Ref
No description

Class: backup_activity_grade_items_to_ids  - X-Ref

and put them to the backup_ids tables, to be used later as base to backup them

define_execution()   X-Ref
No description

Class: backup_enrolments_execution_step  - X-Ref

This step allows enrol plugins to annotate custom fields.

define_execution()   X-Ref
Function that will contain all the code to be executed.


annotate_id($itemname, $itemid)   X-Ref
Annotate a single name/id pair.
This can be called from {@link enrol_plugin::backup_annotate_custom_fields()}.

param: string $itemname
param: int $itemid

Class: backup_annotate_course_groups_and_groupings  - X-Ref

This step will annotate all the groups and groupings belonging to the course

define_execution()   X-Ref
No description

define_execution()   X-Ref
No description

Class: backup_annotate_all_question_files  - X-Ref

This step will generate all the file annotations for the already
annotated (final) question_categories. It calculates the different
contexts that are being backup and, annotates all the files
on every context belonging to the "question" component. As far as
we are always including *complete* question banks it is safe and
optimal to do that in this (one pass) way

define_execution()   X-Ref

question categories and questions required by the backup
and letters related to one activity

Class: backup_annotate_all_user_files  - X-Ref

This step will generate all the file  annotations for the already
annotated (final) users. Need to do this here because each user

one context. Also, this step will guarantee that every user has
its context created (req for other steps)

define_execution()   X-Ref
No description

Class: backup_activity_grading_structure_step  - X-Ref

Defines the backup step for advanced grading methods attached to the activity module

execute_condition()   X-Ref

No description

Class: backup_activity_grade_history_structure_step  - X-Ref
