Confluence Home Directory

[CenturyX476]

Hello,

At the moment I have confluence installed on a single server(Self Host) and windows environment.

Is it at all possible to put the home directory on a "Mapped" network drive ? With proper permissions of course

Thanks

Hi, Siavash.

In this case, I believe that it is possible based on the knowledge base I came across here - Is it Possible to House Confluence or Its Home Directory on an NAS Device Instead of a Local Drive?. It involves the process of specifying the network location in <confluence-install>/confluence/WEB-INF/classes/confluence-init.properties


However, please take note that there is a chance of data corruption and Atlassian does not encourage this setup. Hope that helps to answer the question you have.

OK,

So if it is not recommended or encouraged.
What does one do about backups ?
