body: <p>How to fully import yum repository into Artifactory?</p>
  
  <p>Please note that I am referring to external <code>yum</code> repositories and due to the way the external repository mirroring is implemented in Artifactory I cannot use the artifactory-remote repositories.</p>
  
  <p>Artifactory remote repositories are able to cache results but they are not able to <strong>preload (precache)</strong> all the content, making them unreliable and unsafy for many use cases.</p>
  
  <p>I am in a situation where I need to load/import some already existing yum repositories and to allow few people to upload new artefacts in them, or even to <strong>restore them to a previous state</strong> if necessary.</p>
