Overview
The JFrog CLI transfer tool command allows transferring (copying) all the Artifacts stored in one Artifactory instance to a different Artifactory instance. However, this is only half the picture. If you wish to make a full replica of your existing Artifactory you will need to transfer all configuration and access related data as well. This is useful for migrating between different DB types or if you need to move Artifactory to a new Datacenter.  This guide will help you create a full replica of your existing Artifactory utilizing the JFrog CLI for the Artifact transfer.  This process requires 2 steps:
  1. Import Export - Transfer of configurations (including repository structure), from source to target.
  2. File Transfer  - Transfer of Artifacts from source to target.
This article covers this process step by step.
