Can I back up Conflunce through SSH

soldesk

Good day to all,

We're currently suffering a major catastrophe, we cannot access the confluence URL and we cannot back up the files

Question 1.) can we back-up the confluence use SSH?

Question 2.) can we use the backed-up data to rebuild a new confluence sever?

Hello,

Questions 1.):

Yes, XML backup in Confluence is not the only backup option.

You can create DB backup on database application.

Are you using PostgreSQL database?

Questions 2.):

a) You should migrate CONFLUENCE_HOME folder and CONFLUENCE_INSTALL folder + DB backup to new confluence server.

b) Create new DB  and migrate DB backup into new DB.

c) If you change the location CONFLUENCE_HOME, you should change PATH in CONFLUENCE_INSTALL/confluence/WEB-INF/classes/confluence-init.properties to CONFLUENCE_HOME folder.
