Detailed Description

This class is an abstract class with methods that can be called to aid the running of automated backups over cron.

Member Function Documentation

◆ calculate_next_automated_backup()

static backup_cron_automated_helper::calculate_next_automated_backup	(	$ignoredtimezone,
		$now
	)

static

Works out the next time the automated backup should be run.

Parameters

mixed	$ignoredtimezone	all settings are in server timezone!
int	$now	timestamp, should not be in the past, most likely time()

Return values

int	timestamp of the next execution at server time

◆ get_automated_backup_state()

static moodle_database backup_cron_automated_helper::get_automated_backup_state ( $rundirective = self::RUN_ON_SCHEDULE )

static

Gets the state of the automated backup system.

$DB

Return values

int	One of self::STATE_*

◆ get_backup_status_array()

static moodle_database backup_cron_automated_helper::get_backup_status_array ( )

static

Gets the results from the last automated backup that was run based upon the statuses of the courses that were looked at.

$DB

Return values

array

◆ get_backups_to_delete()

static backup_cron_automated_helper::get_backups_to_delete	(	$backupfiles,
		$now
	)

staticprotected

Get the list of backup files to delete depending on the automated backup settings.

Parameters

array	$backupfiles	Existing backup files
int	$now	Starting time of the process

Return values

array Backup files to delete

◆ get_courses()

static backup_cron_automated_helper::get_courses ( $now = null )

staticprotected

Get the courses to backup.

When there are multiple courses to backup enforce some order to the record set. The following is the preference order. First backup courses that do not have an entry in backup_courses first, as they are likely new and never been backed up. Do the oldest modified courses first. Then backup courses that have previously been backed up starting with the oldest next start time.

Parameters

null | int $now timestamp to use in course selection.

Return values

moodle_recordset The recordset of matching courses.

◆ is_course_modified()

static backup_cron_automated_helper::is_course_modified	(	$courseid,
		$since
	)

staticprotected

Check logs to find out if a course was modified since the given time.

Parameters

int	$courseid	course id to check
int	$since	timestamp, from which to check

Return values

bool	true if the course was modified, false otherwise. This also returns false if no readers are enabled. This is intentional, since we cannot reliably determine if any modification was made or not.

◆ launch_automated_backup()

static backup_cron_automated_helper::launch_automated_backup	(	$course,
		$starttime,
		$userid
	)

static

Launches a automated backup routine for the given course.

Parameters

stdClass	$course
int	$starttime
int	$userid

Return values

bool

◆ outcome_from_results()

static backup_cron_automated_helper::outcome_from_results ( $results )

static

Returns the backup outcome by analysing its results.

Parameters

array $results returned by a backup

Return values

int	self::BACKUP_STATUS_OK and other constants

◆ remove_deleted_courses_from_schedule()

static moodle_database backup_cron_automated_helper::remove_deleted_courses_from_schedule ( )

static

Removes deleted courses fromn the backup_courses table so that we don't waste time backing them up.

$DB

Return values

int

◆ remove_excess_backups()

static backup_cron_automated_helper::remove_excess_backups	(	$course,
		$now = `null`
	)

static

Removes excess backups from a specified course.

Parameters

stdClass	$course	Course object
int	$now	Starting time of the process

Return values

bool	Whether or not backups is being removed

◆ remove_excess_backups_from_course()

static backup_cron_automated_helper::remove_excess_backups_from_course	(	$course,
		$now
	)

staticprotected

Removes excess backups in the course backup filearea from a specified course.

Parameters

stdClass	$course	Course object
int	$now	Starting time of the process

Return values

bool	Whether or not backups are being removed

◆ remove_excess_backups_from_directory()

static backup_cron_automated_helper::remove_excess_backups_from_directory	(	$course,
		$now
	)

staticprotected

Removes excess backups in the specified external directory from a specified course.

Parameters

stdClass	$course	Course object
int	$now	Starting time of the process

Return values

bool	Whether or not backups are being removed

◆ run_automated_backup()

static moodle_database backup_cron_automated_helper::run_automated_backup ( $rundirective = self::RUN_ON_SCHEDULE )

static

Runs the automated backups if required.

$DB

◆ set_state_running()

static backup_cron_automated_helper::set_state_running ( $running = true )

static

Sets the state of the automated backup system.

Parameters

bool $running

Return values

bool
