Unfortunately, the company has decided to move on to another system.

This documentation has some answers on how to backup your entire site: https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/create-a-site-backup-724765526.html

I would do this to create an XML copy of the database, then tar/zip up the filesystem and save it all together, with the XML. Note that you can only restore this XML to a current or later version of confluence, not an earlier version. And if you ever do restore, make sure you have all of the same plugins installed. The plugins and their versions will get zipped up with the rest of the filesystem, but sometimes the names of the jar on the system aren't too  helpful, so it would be best to note what plugins and what versions are installed in a separate file. 

It is also possible to create exports at the page or space level. More info on that here:
