$webwork.htmlEncode($page.space.name) : Restoring from Backup During Setup
This page last changed on Jun 21, 2007 by rosie@atlassian.com.
Use this option to restore data into a new instance of Confluence.
There are two ways to restore data from a backup file during setup:
Administration > Backup & Restore option
1. To restore data from a zipped backup,
- Browse for the relevant daily backup file.
- Check 'Build Index' to build data index (for search).
- Click 'Upload and Restore'.
2. To restore a backup from the file system
This is recommended if you have:
- a very large daily backup file (greater than 100MB) OR
- a daily backup file that is already on the server and doesn't require uploading
- Copy the backup file into the restore directory inside your confluence home folder and then refresh the page. You should now see your backup file appear in the box underneath the heading Restore a backup from the filesystem.
- Click 'Restore'.
