I have an unstable server and need to setup Confluence again (after completely wiping the server)

How can I make sure I can backup my confluence in order to restore it after new installation

Are there step-by-step instructions?

Hello @Hans-Georg Emberger, 

 

you will need to perform a XML backup as described here, and then import it during the new server Confluence.

 

You might want to save following from the old server:

• conf/server.xml file if you manually changed it
• bin/setenv.sh file if you manually changed it
• your attachment directory

 

You can also use this page as a reference for migrating your instance.

 

Let me know if this helps,
