How can I make a backup of my page

Try to make a backup of my page but can't find any option , do I need admin access to do it?  is there any video or instruction somewhere for it?

Hi,

could you describe in detail, what you want to achieve & whats your understanding of the term "backup" means?

I ask this because Confluence doesn't have a page based backup. Backups can be done as an export to a file for a whole space or a whole Confluence site.

On page level you either can create a copy of a page (eg. to your personal space) or just rely on the automatic history & archiving mechanism, which allows to go back in history to each version of a published page. Even if a page is deleted, it can still be recovered from the trash by an admin (Space, Confluence or System). Only if an admin purges the trash, a page will finally be deleted. In this case, a restore would only be possible from an external backup.

So, apart from having a backup stored external somewhere, there's no need for a page backup. 

Best

Thanks JP for the answer, what I want to do is have a local copy of a specific space or directory of a Confluence instant ( all subpage under a main page),  As you describe, I think the page copy is one option.
