Confluence 2.8.1 space and site import to cloud area problem

Ugur Engin1

Hi all,

We are using the old version(2.8.1) of clonfluence where is installed on linux system that is running within the java.Thus we would like to upload all of our data to the cloud area,but when i try to upload a exported space, so i am getting the following messages from the confluence cloud panel !

"The current Confluence OnDemand accepts back-ups from version 5.3 and newer releases"

Anyway , we need to upload our confluence data which is stored in old version of confuence, but it is under the 5.3 version.What can we do to upload all these data(space based or site based) in cloud area of confluence ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ugur,

As describe on our documentation here:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Importing+a+Confluence+Space

It is necessary to upgrade the Confluence source to the mentioned release version in order to import it to our OnDemand environment. I suggest you to create a staging environment to upgrade your Confluence instance so the space export can be imported successfully.

Hope it helps.

Cheers,
