New API Endpoint for Confluence Cloud Backup

Michael

Powershell 

Does anyone have the latest API endpoint for triggering Confluence Cloud backups via REST API? The old /wiki/rest/obm/1.0/runbackup no longer works. Looking for a way to automate backups using an API.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Michael,

For our Confluence instance, the old /wiki/rest/obm/1.0/runbackup API endpoint still seems to work with the Powershell script backup-confluence-api-token.ps1 if you replace

$backupReady = $statusContent.alternativePercentage -eq "100%"

by

$backupReady = $statusContent.alternativePercentage -eq "100"

i.e., if you remove the '%' that used to be part of "$statusContent.alternativePercentage". However, note that "alternativePercentage" only takes the values 0 and 100.

This snippet can be found in line 54 of backup-confluence-api-token.ps1

I hope this still helps.

Kind regards,

Jonas

Hi @Michael ,

did u read the following article https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloudkb/automate-jira-confluence-cloud-backups-1488597169.html ?

It seems to be available just for enterprise license.

Hope this helps,

Fabio
