A course backup will make a copy of your course minus all the interactions between it and participants (e.g. students) during the term. For example, a course backup will include the settings for a discussion forum you created and the text you entered to define the forum. It will not include any of the posts made by students or any additional posts by instructional personnel during the use of the course. See How do I back up my student transactional data for how to make personal copies of student work during the term.
