      The easiest way to show this is using restore as admin from Site admin > Courses > Restore (ie Site context).

      1. Generate or find a reasonably large backup file.
      2. Set up a file system repository
      3. Set up php.ini to have a maximum file size / post size of less than the backup file
      4. Copy the backup file to the FSR folder on the server
      5. Attempt to restore the file by grabbing it in the repository
      6. It will fail saying the file is invalid
      7. Increase php.ini settings to make the maximum file size larger than the backup / restart as required
      8. Try the restore again
      9. It works!

      It appears that the file is getting truncated somewhere and so is corrupt. This is new - certainly since 2.9

      I imagine this is related to MDL-44626 and MDL-54110, but I am logged in as the primary admin so, surely, any relevant capabilities will not apply anyway.
