CAUTION: Restoring a backup of an entire confluence site (consisting of multiple spaces) will:

  • Wipe out all confluence content in the database. Ensure that your database is backed up.
  • Log you out after the restore process. Make sure you know your login details in the data being restored.

There are two ways to restore a site from a backup file:

  1. Restore a site from the Confluence Setup Wizard: This restores the data into a new instance of Confluence.

  2. Restore a site from the Administration Console: This restores data into the current instance of Confluence.


    If your daily backup zips cannot be restored for whatever reason, but you have both a database backup and backups of your confluence home directory, then it is still possible to restore from these backups.

You can not restore a particular space only from the entire site backup when the backup contains more then one space.
