Create a site backup
Note: Only one backup file is stored at a time. Any existing backup is overwritten by the new one.
To back up all data of your Confluence instance:
- Do either of the following:
- If your site has multiple Cloud applications, choose the cog icon
at the top right, then choose Confluence Admin. Choose Backup Manager in the left-hand navigation panel. - If your site has Confluence only, choose
in the header, then choose Backup Manager.

- If your site has multiple Cloud applications, choose the cog icon
- If you want to include attachments, select Back up attachments
- Choose Create Backup
After the backup is complete, you will see the link to the backup file. You can download the file by following the link.
Retrieve the backup data
The backup files are stored in your WebDAV directory: https://<domain_name>.atlassian.net/webdav/backupmanager.
What data is backed up?
The backup includes the following data:
- Pages
- Users and their group settings
- Attachments if selected
Import the backup data to Confluence Server
You can import the backup data into a Confluence Server instance, thus overwriting all the content on that site. Refer to the instructions on Migrate from Confluence Cloud to Data Center (in the Confluence documentation).
Import the backup data to Confluence Cloud
You can import the backup data into another Confluence Cloud instance, thus overwriting all the content on that site. Refer to the instructions on Importing a Confluence Site.
Notes
If your source site includes other applications in addition to Confluence, the cross-application links in the site, such as links to a source file page or to a JIRA issue, will point back to the corresponding location after the import.
