What might be the case for users asking about missing files?

• A. You may not need to restore anything from backup. Pages and attachments are versioned. If they are actually deleted by a user, they will show up in the space's trash first! The space admin can restore this content from the trash if it hasn't been purged.
• B. You must always restore from a backup.
• C. Content is not versioned.
• D. Missing files cannot be recovered.

Answer: (A)

Missing files can often be recovered without restoring from backup because Confluence versions content and keeps deleted items in a Trash area. Pages and attachments are versioned, so you can access previous versions or recover past attachments without needing a separate backup restore. If content is deleted by a user, it shows up in the space Trash, and a space administrator can restore it from there if it hasn’t been purged yet. This means you have a built‑in recovery path right where the content lives. Backups remain a safety net, but they aren’t the only way to recover missing files.
