Confluence backs up your data on a daily basis into a zipped XML file. By default, the backup is performed at 2.00 a.m. and the backup files are stored in the backups folder under the Confluence Home Directory.

The time zone is taken from the server on which Confluence is running. To check the time according to the server, go to the 'Administration Console', click 'System Information' in the left-hand panel and look at the 'System Time'. You can change the time of the daily backup.

Consider an alternative backup strategy if your Confluence site is large or you are encountering problems with your automated backup.

The default naming convention for the backup files is 'daily-backup-yyyy_MM_dd'. Confluence can write backups to both local and mapped network drives.
