Backup / Restore Confluence

Question

I have inherited a number of Atlassian apps running on the internal DB. I am migrating them all to MSSQL.

My current issue is that Confluence is not backing up all the data when I run it through scheduled jobs.

When I preform a backup from General Configuration --> Backup & Restore it creates multiple zips but the restore process only wants one.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Kevin,

Thank you for letting me know that bypassing the proxy allowed you to create a single backup.

The problem here is that your proxy might be re-trying the request if your timeout is too short. This would then trigger the same bug as before.

In terms of your backup that only goes to Jan 30, how are you verifying that? Is it once you import into your instance you notice the data only goes back that far, or were you opening the XML file and having a look at it that way?

It appears to have something to do with being logged in a recovery_admin

OK, so bypassing the proxy solved the multiple file issue. However it's still not getting all the data
