In Confluence 8.3, the backup and restore system underwent a complete upgrade with visible improvements to performance, stability, functionality, and appearance. The benefits of the upgrade include:
- faster XML backup and restore operations with performance that is up to 10 to 50 times faster, based on the instance size
- the ability to backup and restore multiple spaces, instead of the entire site
- more visibility and control with the ability to cancel backup and restore jobs
- improved reliability and reduced resource consumption
Learn more about these changes in the Confluence 8.3 Release Notes.
As part of Confluence 9.0, we’ve removed the legacy backup and restore system. This means that scheduled backups, which used our legacy system, are no longer available. Scheduled XML backups were disabled by default in Confluence Data Center.
We don’t recommend relying on XML backups as a main backup method. Instead, we recommend regularly backing up the database, installation directory, and home directories. See Production Backup Strategy for recommended methods.
For backups of test sites, or in addition to database and directory backups, we recommend using the upgraded backup and restore system’s documented API that makes managing these tasks easier and also allows for the automation of heavy or large site merges and space migrations.
As a User in all possible roles
in order to save time & money and prevent unintended problems caused by the current implementation
I want to have a modernized version of Backup & Restore (from now on BR) in Confluence.
Acceptance criteria
- BR is GUI based
- BR functionality is integrated in GUI where it is needed, e.g. Attachment handling
- BR allows me to do a full B
- BR allows me to backup a specific Space
- BR allows me to do a full BR + allow me to BR specify space(s) in addition
- BR allows me to schedule a full B(ackup)
- BR allows me to schedule a B of one or more spaces independent to the full B
- BR allows me to restore the full B
- BR allows me to restore a specific Space
- BR allows me to restore a specific Attachment according to
CONF-37321 - BR allows fully encrypted backups
- BR allows storing on remote locations
- BR remote locations can be NFS, SMB, HTTPS, SFTP, ? based
- There are dedicated roles for Full BR, Space BR and potentially Attachment R
