Resolve-missing-attachments: Stop Confluence before running a search for attachments?

Kiss Zoltán March 21, 2022

Hello, 

I'm trying to get some attachments back after copying a space and I've found this suggested solution.

https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-resolve-missing-attachments-in-confluence-201761.html

What I don't know, that why is it required to stop confluence, if I just wants to test, if it  is able to find any recoverable attachment, or not. If finds any, then okay, naturally it has to be stopped, but if I just searching?!

Anyone has experience about this topic?

The Search script will heavily hit the disk in search of attachments which could impact Confluence performance, we also detailed the script for the full recovery process, apart from continually searching the disk during the first part of running it, there should be no harm, so it should be ok to run it while Confluence is up.
Just make sure the data is backed up in case anything goes the wrong way.
