This proposition is a result from the Moodle-Privacy workshop at the 4th International Moodle Conference in Graz/Austria.
The focus of the workshop was to enable Moodle users with restrictive data protection/data privacy policies to configure Moodle according to their needs.
The relevant privacy issues should have a basis in the Moodle role definitions. Some of them are implemented up from Moodle 1.7. To meet special needs concerning the access to log and personal data should be implemented:

  • just a few additional role definitions / capabilities (site level) and
  • options in the user profile page (user level):

A detailed description of the results is described in the following document and could help the understanding of the whole problem:

The handling of backup files was already improved in HEAD
we have new capabilities for downloading/uploading of backup fies

This change would require major changes in backup/restore - I do not think it is technically possible in 1.9.x

I also attended this privacy workshop.

We made code changes for Moodle 1.8.6 in moodle/backup/backup_form.html so that backup of courses is only allowed without user data. Please see the file attached to this issue. Changes are marked with GHD.

Reassigning to our backup expert, I suppose this is being already implemented...
