What does an XML backup restore do to the installed version of Confluence?

• A. It changes the installed version to the backup version.
• B. It requires reinstalling Confluence.
• C. It does not change the installed version of Confluence.
• D. It upgrades Confluence to the latest patch.

Answer: (C)

An XML backup restore deals with the content inside Confluence, not the software itself. The XML export captures pages, spaces, comments, users, and attachments, and restoring that data brings those items back into the current database of your existing Confluence installation. It does not modify the installed version (the actual application binary and its patch level) and does not require reinstalling. Upgrading or patching Confluence is a separate process that changes the software, not the data you restore from XML. So the installed version remains unchanged by an XML backup restore.
