Yep, can be confusing, so I'll try to be clear :) The fileStoreDir is where the actual binaries files which are bigger than minSize are store. They are stored using their ID (Checksum), and so have meaning only if associated with the DB data. This solution helps when DBs (like MySQL) are not managing BLOBs efficiently.
That's the explanation, about your need, if you have a good copy of the /data and /etc folders in artifactory home you are safe. Basically standard conf+data backup => Safe. Now, in CIFS environment the disk access are not suitable for DB and index files, so to have a full safe environment on your CIF storage, you have 2 solutions: 1) Small disk space, more complicated:Use mysql-filesystem (with a local MySQL instance) and activate a mysql dump (quite fast and efficient) in a cron to have a DB dump on the CIF storage. 2) More disk space, a lot easier: Have an Artifactory incremental backup defined on /HCR_SubVersion/artifactory/backup for example and then reload this backup on the backup server in case of problem. The other parameters that depend on your setup between the solutions is recovery time. Hope I was clear, Fred.
