Split configuration and data for imports and exports
----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: RTFACT-316
                 URL: http://www.jfrog.org/jira/browse/RTFACT-316
             Project: Artifactory
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.2.5u1
            Reporter: Erik Drolshammer
            Assignee: Yoav Landman


It would be really nice to have a simpler upgrade procedure.

Suggestion: 

_Export /import repository_ functionality produce a zip file with only repository data (only artifacts) 


_System export_ produce a folder which contains the export of the artifacts + the relevant config files. 

When importing from an export made in a previous version of Artifactory it would then be possible to 
* manually change the configuration without unzipping and zipping the archive
* possible to import configuration only, which simplies debugging when upgrading from an earlier Artifactory version. 


This is also a first step towards making upgrade scripts that help users upgrade.
