Hello,
Confluence needs regular updating of plugins. To do this we have to through our change management process. I do get asked about a back out plan. For the most part Confluence plugins update with no issue. But if one failed and did not return the original plugin version. What do I do? I can ask our server team to do a server and db back up, and restore if worse comes to work.
What does the community recommend?
Anyone have a catastrophe with plugins updating?
Thanks,
Mr. V
Hi Victor,
We have needed to rollback an occasional malfunctioning plugin in the past while vendors fix issues related to our environment. You'd be surprised how many plugins seem to have Oracle-specific data storage issues.
First, keep detailed records of which version you're upgrading from so you know which version you need to roll back to. Here's a snippet from my update notes page (we update our plugins monthly):
Here are the steps for executing a rollback, in the event you ever need to do it:
Cheers,

Hey Daniel!!
ScriptRunner did cause me an issue, but I think that has been fixed now.
Having to prepare a back up and restore is an issue because I have to engage another team, go through their request process and have them on standby when I update. So far I have NEVER had to restore, but what if that day comes.....#paranoid
Thank you very much!
