If you backup a course using Moodle front-end backup you get a URL to the backup but the course creation tool requires a path ... how do you get this?

e.g. http://mymoodleinstallation.com/pluginfile.php/16/user/backup/backup-moodle2-course-999-temp_blank_2013-14-20130611-1035-nu.mbz?forcedownload=1

I believe you can do two things:

  1. download the backup file and use the file path, or upload in another site and use the url.
  2. this I have not tried but you can test: a) Go to restore, b) click manage backup button, c) and use the url of the file listed
