How do I clean up the backup after upgrading atlassian products?

Gintohewoo

I have just upgraded my instances of jira and confluence and in the process of upgrading them, the process created a backup of the home directory. Now that the upgrade is complete, where are those backed up files and how can I clean them up to recover disk space?

Hi @Gintohewoo

If you are sure that you do not need them, you can proceed to clear

Gintohewoo

proceed to clear what?

Depends if you're using Windows or Linux (and using default home paths)

They will be stored in your Home Directory:

If Windows: C:\Program Files\Atlassian\application-data\[Jira/Confluence]

If Linux: /var/atlassian/application-data/[Jira/Confluence]

Hi @Gintohewoo

Apologies for my incomplete answer! It should be as a zip file in the 'parent directory' location of the home directory.

What folder/jar/zip file name format would the "backup" be stored under, as I logged into both and looked at the installation home and the app home and nothing is jumping out at me as an upgrade backup file/folder.

Thank you very much for your help!

So if I do not see any *.gz files in the <application-home>, is it safe to assume that they were cleaned up during the upgrade process?

If not, does anyone know the file naming convention used for the backup zip file?
