Restoring full backup site from Confluence version 3.1.1 to 5.4

HANSHIN

Hi all,

We've been using Confluence version 3.1.1 for quite some time (almost 6 years). We are planning to use version 5.4.

Here is my plan/action:

1.) Backup confluence version 3.1.1 via admin page (full backup)

2.) Restore full backup of version 3.1.1 to confluence version 5.4

Notes: Version 3.1.1 and Version 5.4 resides on different servers

Questions:

1.) Is it possible to for the backup of version 3.1.1 to be restored on version 5.4?

Feel free to post suggestions. Thanks in advance.

No, this will not work.

You need to do

3.1.1 -> 3.5.17 -> 5.0.3 -> 5.4

Hi Nic,

Ok this is noted. Thanks for the advice.

Hi Nic,

Just a follow up.

I tried manually XML backup my Confluence version 3.1.1 using the Backup Admin page. After an hour or two the page just turned blank, I'm sensing it timed out.

Btw, to give you an idea on our current stats of our Confluence:

<th colspan="2" width="90%">Confluence Usage</th>

Total Spaces	91
Global Spaces	81
Personal Spaces	10
Content (All Versions)	66582
Content (Current Versions)	18113
Local Users	2842
Local Groups	136
Search Index Size	101054

With this, is there a way on upgrading/migrating to versions 3.5.17 to 5.0.3 to 5.4 without using Manual XML Backup?

Thanks in advance.

Er, have you read the upgrade docs at all? They give you the methods you need to do this move. (I'm not sure about 3.11 to 3.5 myself, it's been years since I looked at 3.11, but from 3.5 onwards, the recommended method is not the backup, it's to point a new install at an old database)
