Confluence Docs 3.0 : Restoring Data from the Administration Console This page last changed on May 14, 2008 by edawson. Use this option if you want to restore data into your current instance of Confluence. If you want to restore data into a new instance, follow the instructions here. You need to have System Administrator permissions in order to perform this function.
| CAUTION: Restoring a backup of an entire Confluence site (consisting of multiple spaces) will do the following: 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 contained in the data being restored.
To restore data from backup, Go to the Confluence 'Administration Console'. To do this: Open the 'Browse' menu and select 'Confluence Admin'. The 'Administration Console' view will open. Select 'Backup and Restore' in the 'Administration' section of the left-hand panel. You can restore data in one of two ways: 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'. Restore a backup from the file system: Select the backup file from the form field displayed. If you do not see your backup file, make sure that it has been copied into the `/opt/java/src/confluence/deployments/conf.atlassian.com/home/restore` directory. Uncheck 'Build Index' if you want to create the index at a later stage. Click 'Restore'. ##### RELATED TOPICS
