Detailed Description

Non instantiable helper class providing general helper methods for backup/restore.

This class contains various general helper static methods available for backup/restore

TODO: Finish phpdocs

Member Function Documentation

◆ array_checksum_recursive()

static backup_general_helper::array_checksum_recursive ( $arr )

static

Calculate one checksum for any array/object.

Works recursively

◆ backup_is_samesite()

static backup_general_helper::backup_is_samesite ( $info )

static

Given the information fetched from moodle_backup.xml file decide if we are restoring in the same site the backup was generated or no.

Behavior of various parts of restore are dependent of this.

Backups created natively in 2.0 and later declare the hashed site identifier. Backups created by conversion from a 1.9 backup do not declare such identifier, so there is a fallback to wwwroot comparison. See MDL-16614.

◆ clear_backup_dir()

static backup_helper::clear_backup_dir	(		$backupid,
		core\progress\base	$progress = `null`
	)

staticinherited

Given one backupid, ensure its temp dir is completely empty.

If supplied, progress object should be ready to receive indeterminate progress reports.

Parameters

string	$backupid	Backup id
core\progress\base	$progress	Optional progress reporting object

◆ delete_backup_dir()

static backup_helper::delete_backup_dir	(		$backupid,
		core\progress\base	$progress = `null`
	)

staticinherited

Given one backupid, delete completely its temp dir.

If supplied, progress object should be ready to receive indeterminate progress reports.

Parameters

string	$backupid	Backup id
core\progress\base	$progress	Optional progress reporting object

◆ delete_dir_contents()

static backup_helper::delete_dir_contents	(		$dir,
			$excludeddir = `''`,
		core\progress\base	$progress = `null`
	)

staticinherited

Given one fullpath to directory, delete its contents recursively Copied originally from somewhere in the net.

TODO: Modernise this

If supplied, progress object should be ready to receive indeterminate progress reports.

Parameters

string	$dir	Directory to delete
string	$excludedir	Exclude this directory
core\progress\base	$progress	Optional progress reporting object

◆ delete_old_backup_dirs()

static backup_helper::delete_old_backup_dirs	(		$deletefrom,
		core\progress\base	$progress = `null`
	)

staticinherited

Delete all the temp dirs older than the time specified.

If supplied, progress object should be ready to receive indeterminate progress reports.

Parameters

int	$deletefrom	Time to delete from
core\progress\base	$progress	Optional progress reporting object

◆ detect_backup_format()

static backup_general_helper::detect_backup_format ( $tempdir )

static

Detects the format of the given unpacked backup directory.

Parameters

string $tempdir the name of the backup directory

Return values

string one of backup::FORMAT_xxx constants

◆ get_backup_information()

static backup_general_helper::get_backup_information ( $tempdir )

static

Load and format all the needed information from moodle_backup.xml.

This function loads and process all the moodle_backup.xml information, composing a big information structure that will be the used by the plan builder in order to generate the appropiate tasks / steps / settings

◆ get_backup_information_from_mbz()

static backup_general_helper::get_backup_information_from_mbz	(		$filepath,
		file_progress	$progress = `null`
	)

static

Load and format all the needed information from a backup file.

This will only extract the moodle_backup.xml file from an MBZ file and then call self::get_backup_information().

This can be a long-running (multi-minute) operation for large backups. Pass a $progress value to receive progress updates.

Parameters

string	$filepath	absolute path to the MBZ file.
file_progress	$progress	Progress updates

Return values

stdClass containing information.

Since: Moodle 2.4

◆ get_blocks_from_path()

static backup_general_helper::get_blocks_from_path ( $path )

static

Load all the blocks information needed for a given path within moodle2 backup.

This function, given one full path (course, activities/xxxx) will look for all the blocks existing in the backup file, returning one array used to build the proper restore plan by the @restore_plan_builder

◆ get_inforef_itemnames()

static backup_helper::get_inforef_itemnames ( )

staticinherited

This function returns one array of itemnames that are being handled by inforef.xml files.

Used both by backup and restore

◆ is_sqlparam()

static backup_helper::is_sqlparam ( $value )

staticinherited

This function simply marks one param to be considered as straight sql param, so it won't be searched in the structure tree nor converted at all.

Useful for better integration of definition of sources in structure and DB stuff

◆ store_backup_file()

static backup_helper::store_backup_file	(		$backupid,
			$filepath,
		core\progress\base	$progress = `null`
	)

staticinherited

Given one backupid and the (FS) final generated file, perform its final storage into Moodle file storage.

For stored files it returns the complete file_info object

Note: the $filepath is deleted if the backup file is created successfully

If you specify the progress monitor, this will start a new progress section to track progress in processing (in case this task takes a long time).

Parameters

int	$backupid
string	$filepath	zip file containing the backup
core\progress\base	$progress	Optional progress monitor

Return values

stored_file if created, null otherwise

Exceptions

moodle_exception in case of any problems
