Confluence is configured to make a daily backup of your data. 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.

Creating the Site 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.

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.

バックアップファイルの取得

Confluence stores the backup as a zipped XML file in the 'backups' directory under the Confluence Home directory on your Confluence server. To find your Confluence Home directory, see the documentation. You will need access to the Confluence server in order to retrieve this file.

Enabling the Download of the Backup File via the Administration Console

In Confluence 3.2.0 and earlier, it was possible to retrieve the backup file via the Confluence Administration Console. When the backup process finished, you were prompted to download the backup file. For security reasons this feature was turned off by default in Confluence 3.2.1 and later.

Administrators can restore this functionality by updating the relevant configuration property as described below. However, we recommend that you turn the feature off in production environments.

To enable download of the backup file from the Administration Console,

  1. Edit the confluence.cfg.xml file found in the Confluence Home directory.
  2. Set the value of property admin.ui.allow.manual.backup.download to 'true' (without the quotation marks).
  3. Confluence を再起動します。

If the value of the above configuration property is 'true', it will be possible to download the backup file after manually backing up the site via the Confluence Administration Console. If the value of this property is 'false' or the property is not present in the configuration file, you will need to retrieve the backup file from the file system on the Confluence server. By default in Confluence 3.2.1 and later, the value is 'false'.
