I am testing backup / restore of a Confluence 5.9.6 instance. I created a fresh 5.9.6 installation and then performed a restore noticing that Confluence would no longer run. Confluence shows an error message in browser
NumberFormatException: For input string: "censehere"
censehere is most like short for licensehere so this seems to be a license issue of some sort that causes Confluence to no longer start.
I think I expected this to just work. It is a bit scary that restore is not working.
My backup / restore procedure always worked. I just dump the postgresql db and zip the home directory, attachments, confluence.cfg.xml. For restore the reverse.
What is the correct procedure for backup and restore? In Confluence 5.9.6.
