Documentation for Confluence 2.5.4 - 2.5.8.
Documentation for [Confluence Cloud] and the latest Confluence Server is available too.

Confluence will only allow you to restore a space if a space by that name does not already exist on the site. If you already have a space with the identical name, you will need to delete (or rename) the existing space before restoring the new one.

はじめる前に

Confluence only supports Forward Compatibility and Backward Compatibility for individual space import and export when executed within the same major version of Confluence instances.
This means that a space export created in a newer major version of Confluence cannot be imported into an older major version of Confluence. For example, if you create a Space export in Confluence v2.4.5, it cannot be imported into a Confluence v2.2.2. It can be however imported into 2.4.6. (because 2.2.2 and 2.4.5 are two different 'major' versions) Similarly, a space export created in v 2.2.2 can not be imported into v 2.4.5. However, it can be restored in 2.2.10. (2.2.2 and 2.2.10 belong to the same major version release )
If such an operation is carried out, an error message similar to the one below will be displayed and the import action will be stopped.



To restore a space,

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'.

Restoring Spaces between Major Releases

This method does not apply when restoring spaces from an Atlassian Hosted Confluence to a standalone instance. Please refer to the alternative method, if migrating from Hosted to Standalone.

As described in the warning above, you cannot restore a space directly between two major versions. i.e. an individual Space backup from 2.2.x cannot be imported into a 2.3.x.
Whilst there is presently no functionality in Confluence that allows you to do so, there is however a manual workaround to this problem.

Please follow the procedure below:

  1. Create a manual Site Backup
  2. Configure a separate installation of the Confluence version you want the space export for i.e. the version in which you want the Space Export for
  3. Use one of the two restoration methods listed here to import the Site Backup.
  4. After restoring the site backup, create the XML Backup for the Space you want.
  5. Import this backup into your main Confluence instance and you now have that Space.

This procedure is a manual workaround until proper functionality is implemented.
Remember: Always backup your data before attempting this procedure.

代替手段

Other way is to change the version of a space backup
