How to export/import all Moodle configuration?

Well, thats the question: Is there a way to export/import all moodle configuration?

I found this: https://docs.moodle.org/dev/XML_Administrator_Settings But it seems that they have not implemented it yet.

It is not possible to import/export all Moodle configuration directly from Moodle GUI.

But, because all Moodle configuration are saved in database tables, backing up and restoring Moodle database can do the trick.

Here are some steps and commands (for Ubuntu platform):

Step 1: Backup Moodle DB:

$mysqldump -u<username> -p<password> <db_name_to_dump> path/fileName.sql

e.g

$mysqldump -u root -p root moodle /documents/moodleDbDump.sql

Step 2: Copy Moodledata folder.

Step 3: Create database on target machine.

Step 4: Restore backup db on target machine:

$mysql -u<username> -p<password> <db_name_to_restore> < backup_fileName.sql

e.g.

$mysql -u root -p root moodle < moodleDbDump.sql
