CAUTION: Restoring a backup of an entire confluence site (consisting of multiple spaces) will:
- Wipe out all confluence content in the database. Ensure that your database is backed up.
- Log you out after the restore process. Make sure you know your login details in the data being restored.
Confluence supports Backward Compatibility for site backups (note: not space backups). You can only successfully restore backups of a site from an older version of Confluence to a newer version of Confluence.
For example, if you create a Site backup in Confluence v 2.4.3, it cannot be restored into a Confluence v2.2.2. It can however, be restored in 2.4.5 or 2.5.x (because 2.4.5 and 2.5.x are newer versions of Confluence) |
There are two ways to restore a site from a backup file:
- Restore a site from the Confluence Setup Wizard: This restores the data into a new instance of Confluence.
- Restore a site from the Administration Console: This restores data into the current instance of Confluence.
 | If your daily backup zips cannot be restored for whatever reason, but you have both a database backup and backups of your confluence home directory, then it is still possible to restore from these backups. |
 | You can not restore a particular space only from the entire site backup when the backup contains more then one space. |
