We used backup and restore in Samoa - they had a very old version of Sugar so code fu was required but oh my was it worth it. We backed up the journal, updated their laptops to a newer Sugar, then restored their journals, yay happy kids. <br>
<br>Auckland testing volunteers can take a look at these activities next week (this week is Software Freedom Day). <br><br>Tabitha<br><br><br>

Here's a duo of activities I found to back up and restore the Sugar Journal:<br>
<br>

<br>
I can see these being useful in a classroom setting, to restore lost<br>
work or get a child back up and running if their XO is replaced.<br>
<br>
Would someone be interested in testing and evaluating these for this purpose?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
