[Bug 732971] Re: Backup groups and group data

 

Hi Kristina,

Thinking along the lines of GDPR - the ability for admins to export a
group's page/collection would now be a key feature for us as we could
create copies of the group work prior to deleting a student's account.
In fact, what would happen to student's contribution to a group when
they are deleted? Does the work stay? Would this have to be included in
what the student wants deleting from the site?

Thinking about future uses, the LEAP2A export could be imported into a
designated 'past examples/archive' account where we could then anonymise
it for demonstration purposes (e.g. conferences, journals, show and tell
to colleagues) without any personal data being shared.

What are your thoughts? I guess it depends on what is in our user
acceptance statements...

Sam :)

Title:
  Backup groups and group data

Status in Mahara:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Discussion at http://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=2987

  Currently, only individual portfolios can be backed up as HTML web
  site and as Leap2A file. However, views, files and discussions in
  groups can't be backed up. Views and files can be transferred into
  one's individual portfolio and backed up from there, but if you have
  many group views / files that can be quite cumbersome.

  It would be easier if groups could be backed up. Backup options could be:
  - entire group as HTML web site
  - (series of) individual pages as HTML and Leap2A so that they can be imported into one's own portfolio later
  - only forum discussions as HTML web site
