Confluence is configured to make a daily backup of your data and store it as a zipped XML file in the 'backups' folder under the Confluence Home Directory. A System Administrator can also manually back up the data from the Administration Console.

(info) You need to have System Administrator permissions in order to perform this function.

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

To manually back up your site,

  1. Go to the Confluence 'Administration Console'. To do this:

    • Open the 'Browse' menu and select 'Confluence Admin'. The 'Administration Console' view will open.
  2. Click 'Backup & Restore' in the 'Administration' section of the left-hand panel.
  3. Select 'Archive to backups folder' to store a copy of the backup in the same folder as Confluence's daily backups. (If you do not archive the backup it will be made available for you to download, and then deleted from the server after 24 hours).
  4. Select 'Backup attachments' to include attachments in your backup.
  5. Click 'Backup'.
    (info) Please note that this process will take a few minutes.
  6. Once the backup is completed, you will be prompted to download the zipped backup file.

If you are running Confluence behind Apache and are facing timeout errors, please consider creating the export directly from Tomcat, instead of going through Apache. This will speed up the process and prevent timeouts.
