    Description

      Hi Eloy,

      this is related to the user post here:
      http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=95768#p426822

      it seems to happen in backup_execute() in backuplib.php

      obviously for some reason, backup_delete_old_data() is failing and not deleting the directories inside directories completely - I haven't looked closely - but is this a bug in backup_delete_old_dirs() ? - the user is using an older version of moodle so it's potentially fixed.....

      I suggest we change the call in backup_execute:
      if (!defined('BACKUP_SILENTLY'))

      { error ("An error occurred deleting old backup data"); }

      ... to use a debugging call instead of the error() function.. - the fact that it hasn't deleted all the old dirs in temp doesn't actually affect the backup itself, which should succeed fine, and simply displaying a warning should suffice IMO

      thanks,

      Dan
