title: How do I backup a nexus repository manager
body: <p>The nexus book: <a href="http://www.sonatype.com/books/nexus-book/reference/" rel="noreferrer">http://www.sonatype.com/books/nexus-book/reference/</a>. Does not seem to spend any time on how one should go about backing up a nexus repository.  If I am installing my snapshot and releases into this local repository,  it seems that it would behoove me to back it up.  However, I'm not really interested in backing up anything that can easily be downloaded from a remote repository. </p>
  
  <p>Some google searches do not seem to reveal the canonical answer either, so perhaps for posterity it can be recorded here.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Nathan</p>
