Bulk export of Confluence Spaces

Question

Hi there,

Is there any option to bulk export all the Confluence Spaces belonging to one account/organization?

I found a method, to export every Space one-by-one, but as we have several of them, this would be quite a long process.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Botond György

The backup file will be editable but the format will be XML.

It is not possible to export all the spaces at once into .docx/html/.pdf. I have checked add-ons but I have not found any that would match your needs. My understanding is you will still have to export your space on by one if you want to export it in pdf.

Have a good day,

Dorian

@Botond Gyorgy :

What my organization does

* one time actions* make a manual export of the spaces you want to archive as PDF manually and store them in some secure place (yes, this is some work, but only once)
* make backups both in cloud and server format and also put them in a secure place

* regular actions (we do this once a week)* make a backup in cloud format and archive this
* after every backup, delete the obsolete backups (we keep the weekly ones for a month, then every monthly for the last 12 months and the yearly for two additional years)

Regards,

Harald

Hi @Dorian Schauwers,

Thank you for your reply.

Is this backup file editable - or can we "open" with any other tool, or it just can be restored to Confluence?

It would be ideal to export the spaces into .docx/html/.pdf or any other, digestible format for human beings.
