OverviewArtifactory supports import and export of data at two levels:
At system level, Artifactory can export and import the whole Artifactory server - configuration, security information, stored data and metadata. The format used is identical to the System Backup format. This is useful for manually running backups and for migrating and restoring a complete Artifactory instance (this is an alternative for using database level backup restore). At repository level, Artifactory can export and import repository stored data and metadata. This is useful for moving store data, including its metadata between repositories and for batch population of a repository. System Import and ExportSystem import and export can be accessed from the Admin tab and then
The source/target of the import/export operations are folders (Zip archives are not recommended) on the Artifactory server itself. You can use the built-in server-side browsing inside Artifactory to select server-side source/target folders:
Repositories Import and ExportSystem import and export can be accessed from the Admin tab and then
You can either export and import to and from server-side folders (browsable though Artifactory - see above), or import a repository by zipping it and uploading it to Artifactory. You can also import directly into caches and can take your local Maven repository and upload it into Artifactory to make all your already-locally-stored artifacts available on the server. You can choose whether to import multiple repositories ('All Repositories') or a single repository. Import LayoutThe expected layout of an imported repository is in the format of a Maven 2 repository layout. When importing a single repository, the file structure within the folder your selection should be similar to: When importing all repositories, the file structure within the folder your selection should be similar to: |
