Odd. There is no reason for this to happen. Perhaps there is now mixed data
in your repo or some mixed configuration. We never had  jcr data corruption,
not even with heavily used repositories of tens of GBs.
Anyway, I agree that the clean procedure of export/import should be the
single way to go.

So it seems that my artifacts are trapped now in the jcr repositories ... is

I am afraid not - just to use the backup/export. However, if you maintained
the old "repos" folder (now called "data") and it was working fine and
wasn't corrupted outside of Artifactory, there is no reason you shouldn't be
able to switch back to the previous version and use it to do the export.

HTH
