Confluence DC / Don't have XML export format

[Danylo Borodai]

I am JIRA Admin and Space admin. I do not see XML export format to reimport it later

The XML export is under the backup section.  You can find the instructions here:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/export-content-to-word-pdf-html-and-xml-139475.html

To export pages to XML:

1. Go to the space and select Space tools > Content Tools from the bottom of the sidebar
2. Select Back up – an XML export contains every page, blog posts, comment, and attachment in the space, but excludes blog posts.
3. Under Save to restore directory, you can:
   1. Give your XML export a file name (optional)
   2. Select Save permanently if you want to keep your file on the server, otherwise, all space backups are only temporarily saved to your <home-directory>/restore/space, where <home-directory> is shared-home-directory for Confluence Data Center. You'll need access to the server to retrieve the file this way.
4. Select Back up

Hi Team,
previously we had the option to choose manually for the custom pages option now we do not have it in the backup for XML export can we know if there is any option through configuration changes?

The XML export option previously lived on the Export Formats tab, which allowed you to select which pages you wanted to export.

This change takes away the ability to export selected pages. Why was this removed?
