Another very nice thing about Artifactory's backup is that the dump is a
set of functioning Maven repositories.
We back up directly to a offsite versioned EMC Isilon mount (cifs.. Not NFS
yet), which means even if our artifactory server was to burn to the ground
tomorrow, we could set up a plain Apache httpd view of the backup folders
and have our Maven repositories back online almost instantly.
It also means you are not locked in. The cost of this is that restoring
takes a bit longer (in our case some hours to restore 200k artifacts), but
at the advantage that you can restore on a newer Artifactory install with a
different SQL and storage backend, should you choose to change that.
