For either of these procedures, determine where your attachments are stored. The default is the file system. Attachments will not loadIf you find that attachments are listed on the Attachments tab but they cannot be loaded, this means their metadata is still in the database but they do not exist on the file system. To verify this:
You now have a list of attachment files and locations. From a file system backup, you can recover these files from your <confluence-home>/Attachments directory. Otherwise, there is an attachments directory inside a zipped XML backup in the <confluence-home>/Backups directory.

Attachments have been deleted mistakenlyIf a user has deleted an attachment accidentally, its metadata will be gone from the database and the attachment itself will be gone from the file system (or database, if that's where it was stored). This procedure details how to recover a single attachment that's been deleted:
