Artifactory has a built in backup solution. The documentation for artifactory warns that the built in backup is not optimized for drives larger than 1TB, and you should contact support for the recommended configuration.
How do you optimize artifactory backups for more than 1TB.
Currently I'm doing the standard daily and weekly backups. I'm finding that the weekly backups are taking 6+ hours.
JFrog recommends not using the built in backup and instead doing database snapshots at the same time that you backup the entire $ARTIFACTORY_HOME location on the hard drive using a classic backup tool (rsync,cp, drbd)
