Backup Parameter In Varfile Is Ignored

XMLWordPrintable

      Although a .varfile with backupConfluence$Boolean=false parameter is used as an input to the installer, Confluence is backed-up during unattended upgrade. It seems that it follow the parameter specified in the existing Installation Directory.

      Steps To Reproduce

      If both varfiles (input file and existing) have backupConfluence$Boolean=false parameter, no backup of the home directory is made:

      If the varfile given as argument to the installer has backupConfluence$Boolean=false but /opt/atlassian/confluence/./.install4j/response.varfile has backupConfluence$Boolean=true then a backup of the home dir is made:

            Same here. We've confirmed this is still broken in Confluence Server version 6.13.8, which is an Enterprise Release.

            Also ran in to this. I was surprised the upgrade was taking so long. Come to find out it was busy zipping up over 40gigs of artifacts even though have backupConfluence$Boolean=false specified in the varfile. That was during my upgrade to 6.1.2. We will be forced to run the upgrade manually this time to avoid this.

            Hi,

            I'm experiencing the same issue too. I'm also wondering why this has been closed without being fixed.

            Kind regards,
