Cannot find Artifactory of null or non existent folder

Nothing is more fun at 10:30pm than a very cryptic error message that comes up while you’re trying to restore from a backup. Well, ok, one thing is. A cryptic error message that has 0 Google results.

Artifactory threw one of these at me tonight so I thoguht I’d get something into Google for the next poor sod that stumbles upon this issue.

If you export an Artifactory system configuration (at least as of v2.0.2) without selecting the ‘create a zip archive (slow!)’ option, you’ll see this when you attempt to import it: artifactory_import_fail.jpg

The solution: as fast as you want to get home to play WoW, go the slow route and create a zip archive. It imports without issue.
