Confluence is configured to make a daily backup of your data and store it as a zipped XML file in the 'backups' folder under the Confluence Home Directory. A site administrator can also manually backup the data from the Administration Console.

To manually backup your site,

  1. Go to the 'Administration Console' and click on 'Backup and Restore' in the left panel.

  2. Select 'Archive to Backups Folder' to store a copy of the backup in the same folder as Confluence's daily backups (if you do not archive the backup it will be made available for you to download, and then deleted from the server after 24 hours).

  3. Select 'Backup Attachments' to include attachments in your backup.

  4. Click 'Backup'.
    (info) Please note that this process will take a few minutes.

  5. Once the backup is completed, you will be prompted to download the zipped backup file.
