Need help changing confluence backup directory

[Nathan Polselli]

Hi,

I'm trying to change the default confluence backup directory. I tried following the below article (i'm an admin), but I can't find the 'gear' icon to navigate to the General Configuration > Backup administration page. Can someone please advise how to get to this admin screen so I can change my backup?

https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/configuring-backups-138348.html

FYI: I already changed the setting in the <confluence-home>/confluence.cfg.xml file to:

<property name="admin.ui.allow.daily.backup.custom.location">true</property>

Thanks in advance for the assistance!

Hey,

I have no idea why the gear icon would be missing, but you can browse to the backup page with url? https://<Instance Name>/admin/dailybackupadmin.action just replace <Instance Name> with your confluence name.
