    Description

      Problem

      Support Zip is generated but doesn't include application-logs

      Environment

      Confluence v8.5.3 running on Linux with the below config for Confluence home:

      $ ls -la /var/atlassian/application-data/confluence/
total 60736
drwxr-xr-x 12 confluence confluence     4096 Nov 28 18:22 .

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Install Confluence v8.5.3 DC on a Linux VM
      2. Stop Confluence 
      3. Setup the symlink 
        mkdir -p /var/atlassian/application-data/logs/confluence/
chown -R confluence:confluence /var/atlassian/application-data/logs
cp -R /var/atlassian/application-data/confluence/logs/* /var/atlassian/application-data/logs/confluence
rm -rf /var/atlassian/application-data/confluence/logs
cd /var/atlassian/application-data/confluence
ln -s /var/atlassian/application-data/confluence/logs logs

      Expected Results

      Support Zip will be correctly generated

      Actual Results

      Support Zip is missing application-logs folder

      Workaround

      Do not use symlinks inside Confluence home

      Notes

      The same setup doesn't cause any issue on v7.19.16 with ASTS v1.50.2. I have tested also v1.52.2 and the behaviour is the same.
