Airgap deployment blob store update via external hard drive task run question

Hi. In an airgapped deployment (no proxies, fully air-gapped), the blobstore is updated-in from a Nexus Repository Manager instance on a different network of identical setup.
Once the blobstores are copied into the airgapped environment, do we need to run any tasks such as “Reconcile component database from blob store”?
Thanks very much for your help.

Repository export/import is designed to handle this case, it keeps track of what was already imported, so you just get the deltas. But it is a paid feature:
