Description

This may appear like a feature request, but it becomes more of a necessity when backing up an academic institution's courses. The grade history becomes part of the record that needs to be saved, and while it CAN be saved during a manual backup, a toggle doesn't exist on this page to trigger it:
admin/settings.php?section=backups

Can you create a field in the mdl_backup_config table that allows for Grade Histories to be backed up from the automated site backup system?

Thanks very much for your help.

A new record in the backup_config table shouldn't be a problem.

Petr, Eloy, can you comment on the feasibility of adding a switch to include grade history tables in 1.9.x ?

Just confirming that scheduled backup hasn't support for grade history export right now. Though I think it can be easily implemented. Should I?

New setting added to admin interface. Now it's possible to enable grade history in scheduled backups. Resolving as fixed, please, test.

Ciao
