I wish to update the version of Confluence we have on our systems. I have noticed that when I perform the upgrade in Linux, there is a backup process that is initiated. I wish to skip this process since our organization performs regular backups which would greatly reduce the upgrade procedure. Kindly let me know if it is possible to disable the backup process and if it is possible kindly let me know on how to disable the backup process when performing an upgrade.
Thanks in advance for your kind assistance and cooperation.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Stick this in the setenv.sh or environment JAVA_OPTS with the other -D parameters before restarting the upgrade
-Dconfluence.upgrade.recovery.file.enabled=false
New stuffs for me - thanks Nic.

It looks like my recovery file is still being generated despite having the recovery parameter set to false in setenv.sh (Amazon Linux). Any ideas?
CATALINA_OPTS="-Dconfluence.upgrade.recovery.file.enabled=false ${CATALINA_OPTS}"
Waiting over an hour so far on this step...

We have way to know what is going on behind the process ? In this case we can follow the process better and if its working well.

It is telling you what it is doing. "Extracting files" means it is unpacking the distribution. You'll find it moves on to starting the system up and then upgrading data and so on. With messages on screen to tell you.

My problem is when upgrade process do the 'Extracting Files'. It takes a lot of time in this step...
Thank's.

This will take a while, yes.

Ricard - it does prompt you if you wish to take a backup or not, doesn't it ? You can select no I guess. :-)

There's no prompt in unattended upgrades. When your home directory is many gigabytes the backup takes quite a while.
