Issue

  • The Liferay Cloud Backup image version 5.14.0 contains a breaking change that removed support for downloading and restoring backups created with client-side encryption. The goal was to release this change in a major version but it was mistakenly flagged for 5.14.0.
  • Backups created using version 4 are created using client-side encryption. This means that, in the event the backup service is updated from any 4.x version to 5.14.0, the backups created in 4.x will not be accessible.

Environment

  • Liferay PaaS

Resolution

  • When upgrading from 4.x, please upgrade to 5.13.1 or lower.
  • Wait 30 days for old 4.x backups to be replaced by new 5.x backups.
  • After 30 days, it is safe to update to 5.14.0.

Additional Information

  • It is safe to update to 5.14.0 if no 4.x backups exist. This means that if the project never used a 4.x image or was updated from 4.x over 30 days ago, this information can safely be ignored.
