I successfully completed a migration from OrientDB to the H2 database by following the instructions provided here . Notably, step 4 states: Copy the produced nexus.mv.db file to your $data-dir/db directory. However, I found it unusual that there is no mention of removing the old OrientDB files. …

Thank you, @mpiggott ! Much appreciated. P.S.: If possible, please consider updating the documentation to include this valuable information.

You should be able to archive everything except the nexus.mv.db
