We have created a new server for canvas lms at the university where I work, how can we get the information on the old server without downloading it to this server. Using methods such as XML or api. Thank you in advance.
Hi @tlsahin,
You might be able to use the API to replicate users/courses/sections and things similar to that, but I know for sure you're not going to be able to do anything with student submissions. Maybe someone with more experience in server-land will chime in, but I think transferring stuff server-side is likely the way you're supposed to go. Is there a reason you're trying to do all of this via API or other methods?
