How do you copy an entire space in Confluence- including all child pages and page content? I want an exact replica of the space with all its content. (It is okay to not have comments included in the copy).

We have released a solution which can copy desired page tree or whole space to a new space.

Atlassian marketplace : (Copy Page Hierarchy (Copy Space))

I've made a PowerShell script that does most of the work for solution 3.

For this case we developed 'Space Admin for Confluence' which allows:

  • copying pages and spaces  (with attachements, childpages, comments, labels & permissions)
  • ordering pages using drag & drop
  • comparing pages
  • managing permissions
  • deleting page trees and much more

 

You'll find it here:

Confluence Command Line Interface (CLI) has the copySpace action which would be a good solution if you wanted to do this in automation.

Atlassian recently marked this as Fixed in Confluence 6.0 so we'll have it natively soon! smile

I have used Copy Space, successfully, a few times.

@Jobin Kuruvilla [Go2Group] does Copy Space retain the content on each page and child page within the space that's being copied?

It includes pages but not history. Blog posts are not included.
