Description
I backed up the front page of this site: http://ialc106.ip.wsu.edu/edtech/moodle/
Using the backup file, I restored the front page as a new course in another Moodle on the same server (same Moodle version, 1.8+).
The only content that restored was the course description. Everything else, including wikis, forum entries, and resources, is missing.
I also tried restoring the front page to a new course within the same Moodle and had the same result.

Hi,
I've just resolved MDL-10125. And I guess that such bug could be causing the behaviour described here.
Plz, can you test if, with current versions (available in 24 hours - nightly builds) restoring of "site courses" are working again?
It was a problem with "rolling start dates" of courses (because front-page courses and social courses haven't start date.
TIA and ciao 
flagging this as fixed as Eloy mentioned - feel free to post more details if you are still experiencing issues.
thanks,
Dan

What exactly does the Backup of the Front Page suppose to do? I tried to do it with Moodle 1.8.2 from one to the other - but it seemed to stick my existing 1.8.2 FrontPage content into a course for the new 1.8.2. I thought it would at least replicate the Frontpage onto the other FrontPage - but alas this seems not to be the case.
It may be worth updating the Moodle Forum post:
http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=71196
As folks do not seem to know there as well.
Thanks,
Bob
