i have a network which is not connected to the internet and i want to use Nexus OSS v3.
back in v2, i have installed a server in a computer connected to the internet, download what i needed, copied the blob store folder and just rebuilt indexes.
i v3, the only thing i can do is to backup and restore but i have to backup everything according to the documents and that includes “security” which i don’t want to backup. i want to use active directory and i do not want to destroy it by restoring the db.
The working directory in NXRM3 is portable same as NXRM2, it’s just the files are in blobs rather than storage. Because of this, I suspect you could copy over everything but the /db/security folder and may be OK. That is assuming you want 0 security things copied over (users, user tokens, privileges, roles, etc).
Otherwise I don’t think there’s a way to do what you want.
The solution I think would probably benefit you is https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/NEXUS-11468 which is not developed yet. You can follow that if that’s the case and no-one else has any ideas. I believe the feature is in preliminary discovery.
I should also disclaim, I haven’t tried the above suggestion.
Definitely back up your system before trying it (or test it out in a test system first).

thank you for your reply.you have just confirmed what i suspected.
i will give a try to your suggestion although the documentation states that i should restore all 3 DB’s together.
