In some cases XML backup files may contain characters causing the restore process to abort, even after the steps described in the previous question. In such cases you may want to try the following: • Download the Atlassian XML Cleaner Utility from the JIRA Atlassian site. • Unzip the problematic Moodle backup file under one empty folder. Moodle will create the course file folders as long as the unclean moodle.xml file. Please unzip using the Moodle unzip feature. • Rename the unclean moodle.xml file to moodle-unclean.xml. • If you don’t have access to your Moodle server’s command prompt, using the Moodle zip feature, zip the moodle-unclean.xml file only, download the zip file locally and unzip it. It is very important to download the xml file in zipped format to avoid unwanted character encoding when transferring from an operating system to another. • Move the downloaded Atlassian XML Cleaner Utility in the same folder where is your moodle-unclean.xml file.
