mbex

Moodle is an education-oriented platform also known as a learning management system or LMS. The site focuses on providing support for blended learning, distance education, creating websites, and other e-learning projects.

Moodle uses its MBZ format to create backups for your projects. mbex (Moodle Backup Extractor) is a tiny app built around the MBZ file type, helping one with extracting module information from it.

The dashboard is not hard to work with. Loading an MBZ will prepare the app for extraction. Click the Retrieve Content button once the backup was verified. All module information should be organized and made available in the preview pane.

Upon extraction, the structure of the modules should be ready to be inspected, along with descriptions, files, labels, and URLs. Every bit of information should be accurately squeezed out, showing how a course was comprised.

Another positive aspect of mbex is portability. Unzip the archive and launch the program directly, skipping any installation procedure and ensuring no trace data is written to your drive.

TO sum it up, mbex is nothing but a handy tool for Moodle users who wish to have a compact solution to extracting module information from the site's proprietary backup file, the MBZ.
