Allow import Confluence cloud site backup onto Confluence cloud

Ine Nieuwenhuijzen December 16, 2022

Hi,

Currently its not possible to import a Confluence cloud site backup onto a Conluence cloud site. Are you planning on developing and releasing such a feature? If so, do you have a rough timeline for it? This feature would help us a lot.  

Thank you for your reply.

Best regards,

Ine

Hi @Ine Nieuwenhuijzen 

According to the official documentation you can import a confluence cloud backup

https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/create-a-site-backup/#Import-the-backup-data-to-Confluence-Cloud

If that's not what you mean, please clarify.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your reply!

It's not what I meant. It does not seem possible to import a complete Confluence cloud backup, containing multiple spaces, onto a Confluence cloud site. It is only possible to import a single space at a time according to https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/import-a-confluence-cloud-space/. So my point is, why does Confluence cloud allow you to export the complete Confluence cloud site, but does not allow you to import this complete Confluence cloud site?

Hi @Ine Nieuwenhuijzen 

Sorry for my late reply.

According to Atlassian University, confluence site restore is possible ONLY if you have a Confluence only site. So that's the purpose of the cloud backup.

Ah ok, that is a shame. We also use Jira.

Thanks for your quick response though

@Ine Nieuwenhuijzen you can still contact Atlassian's support and ask them if they can restore for you the whole confluence site.
