Databases Rollout for All Organizations - When Will It be out of Beta?

Brendan O_Brien_my4n1u

We have been seeing a banner advertising that databases is coming to all users / organizations as of yesterday or today. We are very excited for this feature and hope to use it soon.

Is the major difference that now any users can enter the beta (whereas previously it was a closed beta)?

If this is the case, when is this feature expected to be out of beta?

We can't turn on the feature as is because of this combination:

Once enabled, Databases cannot be disabled for your site during the beta period.
Certain Confluence features such as Data Residency and Backup and Restore will not be supported for databases during the beta period.

It is essential for how we operate to have Backup and Restore. Until that issue is resolved, we do not want to turn on databases.

Hey @Brendan O_Brien

We got an update from our internal team confirming that it is not currently supported but will eventually be supported.

Support for backup and restore for the Confluence databases is something our team is planning on, and we should have some news in August.

I don't have an exact date to share with you right now besides that we should have some updates in August, as it may change depending on the complexity of the internal processes and features to be delivered.

That said, I believe it would be better indeed to wait until August since it is crucial for your team to have this feature on.

Even with that in mind, in case you get any communication that it is available by then and this seems to be not available for your team, please feel free to open a support ticket with us at the Technical and Bugs option and we can follow up on this with you.

Cheers,
Jessica

Hi @Brendan O_Brien

Our team is working on some features for the Confluence databases and for the data residency specifically, it is already available.

I'm following up about the backup and restore feature internally, so I wanted to update you that we have seen your question and we are on it.

I'll update you once I have additional information on this topic.

Thank you Jessica!

Backup and restore is "mission-critical" for our organization, so we'd love to understand if that is now supported or if it is in the roadmap to be supported.

My understanding is once that feature is supported, we're going to turn Databases on.

Thank you for the update - I appreciate you looking into this for us! I passed this along internally. I think we can be patient to August - we can't wait for databases!

Any news cause I havent seen any on that topic?

Jessica

Hey @Patrick

Confluence Databases are already included in backup and restore.

The documentation where previously stated it wasn't supported was updated already to remove the backup and restore:

Hope this helps clarifying your question.
