Confluence restore only attachements folder

Question

Hello,

my confluence server is crashed.

Is it possible to make a restore only with the attechements folder??

Without any other datas of home directory, no entities.xml or exportDescriptor.properties--> only attachements folder!

Thank you for your help

Just to expand on why Jeremy is asking about your use case:

A backup of Confluence needs to take the database (either as an xml backup, found in <confluence home>/export) or as a standard database backup, plus the attachments.

If you don't have either type of database backup, then you can't restore your Confluence, because there's nothing to restore from.

Dear Kattner,

No, you cannot restore Confluence with just the Attachment folder. These Attachments need to go somewhere. What exactly is your use case?

Kind Regards,

Jeremy
