Backup copy of Confluence Pages

[Arul Subramaniam]

Hello Experts. I need to take backup copies (another replica of) around 10 Confluence Pages. These pages have contents that get regularly updated. Do I need a daily back up? Not really, but at least once a week is good. 

Are there any ways to keep a backup copy of Confluence Pages? Please share the details. Also please share how I can restore the backup in case the original gets messed up.

I don't mind doing a manual backup activity once a week. No need for automation, but if there is one possible, that will be great too.

Hello Arul, 

welcome to the Atlassian Community and thanks for your question. 

You can keep weekly backups of those 10 pages quite nicely with almost no ongoing effort with these available options.

1) Use page history as your first restore point

- Every Confluence page keeps a full version history that you can restore from at any time.
- If someone breaks a page, you just open the page, go to its history, compare versions, and restore the last good one.

2) Automated “shadow copies” (recommended for you)

- Create a dedicated backup area (for example a separate space or a “Backups” parent page).
- Configure a scheduled automation rule (weekly) that copies exactly those 10 pages into that backup area and adds the date to the title, e.g. “My Page [Backup 2025‑11‑24]”.
- After the one‑time setup, there is no manual work: each week a new snapshot is created automatically, and restoring is as simple as copying content back from the latest shadow copy or moving/renaming that backup page.

3) Optional manual export (only if you really need it)

- If you occasionally need an external archive, you can export a page to PDF or Word by hand.
- This is more of a “nice to have” and not required weekly once you rely on history + automated shadow copies.

4) When to move to a backup app like Revyz

- The shadow‑copy + history approach works well as long as you only protect a small, fixed set of pages.
- As soon as you need reliable backups for many spaces or a large part of the site (and easier, more granular restores), it is better to switch to a dedicated backup solution such as Revyz, which is built for larger‑scale, scheduled Confluence backups and restores.

Hope that helps.
