Thanks for the assistance, Ken Sorry if my opening post was a bit ambiguous.
Yes indeed - by 'offline', I meant a localhost Moodle used for development.
Your solution seems fairly straightforward. In fact, I've played around with the backup/restore function within Moodle - so I'm slightly familiar with the process (I should have thought of that myself).
For completeness'-sake, would the 'migration' method (i.e. replacing the moodledata folder and restoring the database) also work? Albeit perhaps somewhat of an over-kill approach...?
