Confluence Backup Problem

[Eli Kim]

I am unable to create a backup of my Confluence 4.3.3

I see the following WARN message...

[confluence.importexport.impl.XMLDatabinder] writeObjects Null object found for key:class = com.atlassian.confluence.links.ReferralLink, id = 29295375

Searching for that id on the EXTRNLNKS table gives me no entries. So I am guessing that is my null.

My question is: What other table links to that table via id? I would have thought content or some other table like that but I can't find it anywhere.

Had to modify source code to debug/correct issue.

Hi Eli

The following knowledge base article might help you on this issue:

Hello,

I had actually followed that troubleshooting but putting in the log4j entry didn't give me any increased output so I looked at the Confluence 4.3.3 source and that class is there but I don't see the debug statements that should be printing.
