Use this option if you want to restore data into your current instance of Confluence. If you want to restore data into a new instance, follow the instructions here.

CAUTION:

Restoring a backup of an entire confluence site (consisting of multiple spaces) will:

  • Wipe out all confluence content in the database. Ensure that you your database is backed up.
  • Log you out after the restore process. Make sure you know your login details in the data being restored.

To restore data from backup,

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

You can restore data in one of two ways:

  1. Upload a zipped backup to Confluence
    • Browse for the backup file.
    • Uncheck 'Build Index' if you want to create the index at a later stage.
    • Click 'Upload and Restore'.


  2. Restore a backup from the filesystem
    • Select the backup file from the form field displayed. If you do not see your backup file, make you sure that it has been copied into the /opt/java/src/confluence/deployments/conf.atlassian.com/home/restore directory.
    • Click 'Restore'.
