We only want to migrate to a new DB, how can we achieve this without migrating the whole instance?

We have a great YouTube guide for this process, but if you prefer things written down follow the steps below;

1. Remove the Artifactory nodes from the LB
2. Perform full system export with exclude content enabled. Please do not check the ‘exclude metadata’ box as these are the binaries that are stored in the database.
3. Create a new schema in the target database. The exact SQL commands for creating a new scheme and an ‘artifactory’ user can be found in our wiki (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, MariaDB)
4. Stop Artifactory 
5. Configure your instance to connect to the new database using the system.yaml file. 
6. Perform full system import
