Backup & Restore of Restricted Content

About this Page

This document explains how the Revyz app handles the backup and restore of restricted content. It covers the types of content backed up, what constitutes restricted content, how to enable its backup, and current limitations.

What is the Use Case?

The primary use case is ensuring total data coverage by extending your backup strategy to include restricted Pages and Blogs that standard Forge credentials cannot access.

Note: Restricted content is only backed up for sites on an Atlassian Premium or Enterprise plan. The Atlassian API does not return restricted content, preventing backups for sites on the Standard Plan.

Restoring Restricted Content

Watch the demo here on how to backup and restore restricted content using the Revyz app.


What Are the Types of Content That We Back Up?

Content Backup

The content that is backed up includes:

  • Pages

  • Blogs

  • Attachments (within the page and blogs)

  • Footer comments

  • Inline comments

The Revyz app uses Forge credentials for backing up content.

Backup Limitations

Change in Status from Open to Restricted

  • Since the backup process is incremental, if a user changes a page or blog from "open" to "restricted" without modifying the actual content, the system can't identify it (open to restricted) as a change in the next backup. Consequently, the backup will continue to reflect the older "open" status. However, if the page content is modified at the same time the permissions are changed, the next backup will correctly capture the current restricted status.

Change in Status from Restricted to Open

  • If you switch a blog between Restricted and Open without changing any text, the new setting won't show up immediately. The updated status will automatically take effect the next time someone edits the blog's content. If you change a page from Restricted to Open without editing the text, the system automatically detects and updates the status.

Restore Limitations

  • On restore, the content will not be marked as restricted instead it would be restored as a regular content. When a restricted page is restored, it will be restored as open because the system cannot identify or replicate the specific permission details regarding who has access to that page.
