Hello,
Is there a way to perform automatic backups of Theme Builder themes and layouts? I know there is a layout backup utility on the builder administration page, but this would require us to do the backups manually. We have daily automated backups of Confluence, but restoring from those would overwrite anything else that we might have done. The solution we would like would either involve an automated backup of themes + layouts, or guidance about how we could access the data so we could configure backups outside of Confluence. We do not have access to Confluence databases, so a solution that involved programmatic access would be preferable.
Thanks for your help.

We have several layouts in our system, so it should have returned something. Should I have configured something for this to work?
Unrelated, is there a way for me to discover all the available actions (such as the dodownloadbackup action) in our system?

If you want to look at all the actions that an individual plugin defines, then rename the .jar file to .zip, uncompress it and open the atlassian-plugin.xml using a text editor.

Not only does it make installing a layout MUCH simpler, but actually developing it too
