Hi ,

I did the below steps

  1. copy the sonatype-work into the new server

  2. download and install the nexus service same as the old version https://download.sonatype.com/nexus/3/nexus-3.37.1-01-unix.tar.gz

  3. update the paths in nexus.vmoptions
    -Dkaraf.data=…/sonatype-work/nexus3
    -Dkaraf.log=…/sonatype-work/nexus3/log
    -Djava.io.tmpdir=…/sonatype-work/nexus3/tmp

  4. start the service (./nexus start)

but am able to access it from the browser and i can see the log generated in …/sonatype-work/nexus3/log, but i did not see the old data in that new instance, it has only default data, can you please advise
