      The progress bar used in the restore process should also be applied to making backups

            [CONFSERVER-7053] Confluence should display the progress of a backup

            Hi All,

            This issue was fixed as part of the improvement to our backup/restore system released in Confluence 8.3.0. A progress bar is now shown during both backup and restore processes.

            Thanks,

            Jacqueline Bietz

            +1 Sometimes good to know a progress instead of checking in filesystem

            this is a sever limitation of the product. Jira easily shows the progress.

            It's a much needed solution, since we're in world for pipeline process, Not sure why Atlassian is not evening thinking about it. Engineering team should provide such ideas to the product building team.

            +1 here as well...it would be super helpful to see the status of a backup, especially for larger installations.

            Coming up to the 11 year anniversary for this issue. We have an importing progress bar, how hard can an exporting one be?

            In Chrome 59, when attempting a manual backup for a large site that takes 12h to complete an export, if I leave the request pending, Chrome will refresh the page 2 more times, every 7.5 minutes, triggering 2 more backup actions. This caused the export to fail as the disk filled up with 3 simultaneous backup files with all attachments in each. Very frustrating when the backup takes 12h to execute.

            This of course would be avoided if the request completed, at the very least advising that a backup has commenced and to check server logs for details.
