There was a question on the community about backup and restore strategy.
We currently have daily xml backups , however we would like to have a robust database backup and restoration strategy in place for our JIRA and Confluence applications. We are using postgresql 9.5.15. Can someone list down the steps to backup and restore DB. Appreciate if you can provide your inputs on the same.
Yes, apart from the xml backups you can definitely and should configure db and file system backups.
Write simple shell script to take file system backups and move them to another location. Configure cron to run these scripts.
For postgresql this page has all the information about using pg_dump for 9.5. You can configure them using shell scripts as well.
May be also configure…

Looking for a way to create a link that would automatically bring the user to a create screen with the project and issue type already selected.

Of course replace the pid and issue type id. You can also read Atlassian documentation as well.
There is a feature called Script Variables to store sensitive information in variables that you can access in your script.

logger.info("First Name: " + FIRST_NAME)
logger.info("Last Name: " + LAST_NAME)
logger.info("URL: " + URLSTRING)
logger.info("Password: " + PASSWORD)
Feeling a bit nostalgic today. Let me share my desk setup of the past few years.
2020 - Standing desk setup. Yes it doesn't look fancy but it gets the job done :) This is a DIY standing desk with several boxes placed on top of each other to achieve the perfect position. Try it out it is cheap - just need some of your time to setup and it is satisfying :)
2009 - I spent lot of time that building some personal Drupal sites. This year I got serious about doing it professionally and started the process of registering my company. I used to workout from my room where I had bench press and weights.
2011 - I have no doubt that this year I worked really hard. I still feel guilty that I don't work hard enough now like I used but I guess it was needed that year.
2012 - My daughter was born that…
So you have decided to migrate to Confluence now? great. However it may not be straight forward.
Here are the steps you can take to attempt this migration. You will also find links to the documentation or download pages.
Download Universal Wiki Converter also known as UWC.
Install UWC on Windows, Mac or Linux.
Configure UWC to connect to Sharepoint and export the content. It won't export the attachments but will point to the attachments on Sharepoint.
Install Confluence 4.0 - 4.3.7. Let us call this ConfluenceTemp.
Upgrade ConfluenceTemp 4.3.x to the target version (or latest if moving to cloud)
If migrating to existing Confluence then export the space from ConfluenceTemp and restore them to your target Confluence.
If moving to Cloud then use the Confluence…
