A little-known feature in Confluence is that it provides suggested labels when you are editing content or open the label edit controls at the top of a page.
Today I was adding some labels to my lesson plan for some internal Confluence training, and I noticed this in the suggested labels:
Suggested label: zombie
I'm not sure what I put into my lesson plan to get such a bizarre recommendation, but I did discover something new. Atlassian Zombie is a support tool developed by the JIRA team that will let you restore JIRA data just from the Lucene search index in the event of a disaster. It literally does bring your data back from the dead!

Remember folks,
If you are running JIRA, Confluence, Bamboo or Crowd in a production environment, please (double please) use a database like PostgreSQL (http://www.postgresql.org/) or MySQL (http://www.mysql.org) and turn on backups. HSQL DB is shipped as a database for evaluation use only and should not be used in production.
Also some kudos should go to Edward Zarecor, the original developer of Atlassian Zombie.
Peace out.
Justin.
- Your friendly Atlassian developer.

Why don't you guys use Lucene only storage?
