To patch this problem, please copy the attached importExportSubsystemContext.xml file to your confluence/WEB-INF/classes directory and restart Confluence.

Cheers,
Dave

I confirm that this patch indeed resolves the problem with restore backup. Tested again on a 2.2.10 backup and restoring in 2.3 (previously unsuccessful ) - worked fine.

This patch worked for me. Prior to this patch a new install of standalone 2.3 would not restore from 2.2.9 Build:#527. After this patch the restore completes successfully. I've not yet confirmed if all the data actually successfully imported. For instance it appears the "news" items with one of my spaces have gone missing.

At this risk of sounding repetitive, just wanted to say that the patch worked for me as well. Restoring 2.2.9 data to 2.3.
Thanks.
