Description
Steps to reproduce
- Create an XML space export from old version of Confluence. For example Confluence version prior than Confluence 5.x
- Import it in Confluence 5.6.5
What Happens
- The space backup could not be restored which is an expected behavior. (See other notes below)
- The following error(s) occurred:
- From Confluence version 4 and above
Backups made prior to Confluence 4.0 (build 3047) can not be restored. This backups build number was missing.
- From Confluence prior to 2.7.4
Backups made prior to Confluence 2.7.4 (build 1117) can not be restored. This backup had build number 813.
- From Confluence version 4 and above
What is expected
- Something related to space export-import across major release is not allowed
- The above error is misleading as the backup was not made "prior to Confluence 4.0"
Other notes:
- Confluence does not support major release space backup, as per this documentation
Confluence supports importing site and space backups into the same major version only. In Confluence,
