Complete System Backup
You can automatically and periodically backup the entire Artifactory system. The backup process creates a time-stamped directory in the target backup directory.
To define multiple backups, in the Admin module, select Services | Backups. Each backup may have its own schedule and repositories to either process or exclude.
Backup content is stored in standard file system format and can be loaded into any repository, so that Artifactory never locks you out.
Backing up very large filestores
If you are backing up more than 1TB of storage, please refer to this article in our Knowledge Base for instructions.
In the Backups page you may select an existing Backup to edit, or click "New" to create a new Backup.
Backup Key | A unique logical name for this backup |
Cron Expression | A valid
Cron expression that you can use to control backup frequency. For example, to back up every 12 hours use a value of: |
Next Time Backup | When the next backup is due to run |
Server Path for Backup | The directory to which local repository data should be backed up as files Each run of this backup will create a new directory under this one with the time stamp as its name. |
Send Mail to Admins if there are Backup Errors | If set, all Artifactory administrators will be notified by email if any problem is encountered during backup. |
Exclude Builds | Exclude all builds from the backup. |
Retention Period | The number of hours to keep a backup before Artifactory will clean it up to free up disk space. Applicable only to non-incremental backups. Do not store any custom files under the target backup directory, since the automatic backup cleanup processes may delete them! |
Verify enough disk space is available for backup | If set, Artifactory will verify that the backup target location has enough disk space available to hold the backed up data. If there is not enough space available, Artifactory will abort the backup and write a message in the log file. |
Incremental | When set, this backup should be incremental. In this case, only changes from the previous run will be backed up, so the process is very fast. The backup directory name will be called The backup files can be used by any incremental file-system based backup utility (such as rsync). |
Backup to a Zip Archie (Slow and CPU Intensive) | If set, backups will be created within a Zip archive |
Monitoring Backup Progress
During a system backup, Artifactory writes several messages to the ARTIFACTORY_HOME/logs/artifactory.log file. To monitor progress of the backup process, look for messages that indicate the beginning and the end of a full system export as in the following example:
2016-06-09 02:00:00,023 [art-exec-1] [INFO ] (o.a.s.ArtifactoryApplicationContext:508) - Beginning full system export... ... 2016-06-09 02:00:00,357 [art-exec-1] [INFO ] (o.a.s.ArtifactoryApplicationContext:620) - Full system export completed successfully.
Restoring a Backup
To restore a system backup you need perform a system import. For details please refer to System Import and Export.
