To import the backup created in Section A.2, “Creating an Artifactory Backup”, enter the path to the Artifactory system backup archive in the Artifactory Import panel as shown in Figure A.3, “Specifying the Artifactory System Backup Path”. This path references a filesystem path on the same server that is running Nexus.
Note
Please note that the filesystem path in Step 1 of the Artifactory Import process references a path on the same server that is running Nexus. This field is not a file upload field, and you are not uploading the Artifactory System Backup archive from your local machine to the server. The Artifactory system export archive can be rather large, and the assumption of the Nexus Migration plugin is that you are installing Nexus on the same server that had previously run Artifactory. If you are not installing Nexus on the same server, you must upload the Artifactory System Backup ZIP file to the Nexus server prior to typing in the filesystem path shown in Figure A.3, “Specifying the Artifactory System Backup Path”.
Click the Import button, and Nexus will then examine the Artifactory System Backup archive and populate fields in Step 2 of the Artifactory Import panel.
