CAUTION: Restoring a backup of an entire confluence site (consisting of multiple spaces) will:
- Wipe out all Confluence content in the database. Ensure that your database is backed up.
- Log you out after the restore process. Make sure you know your login details contained in the data being restored.

To restore data from backup,
Go to the 'Administration Console' and click 'Backup and Restore' in the 'Administration' section of the left-hand panel.
You can restore data in one of two ways:
- 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'.
- Restore a backup from the file system:
- Select the backup file from the form field displayed. If you do not see your backup file, make sure that it has been copied into the /opt/java/src/confluence/deployments/conf.atlassian.com/home/restore directory.
- Uncheck 'Build Index' if you want to create the index at a later stage.
- Click 'Restore'.
