I have a bit confusion with regards binaries storage in Nexus. If I have only one blob store, and have multiple repos that use it, does duplication happens for binaries that have the same digest/hash?

For example: a docker image alpine:latest, is pushed to both repo1 and repo2 in Nexus which use the same blob store, is this image stored twice?

The image is stored twice if you push it to two seperate repositories. This is true of any format.

    Thank you. I have actually tested this but kinda was hoping I am wrong. Since Jfrog has `checksum based storage`, I thought this would be the case in Nexus as well – Badr Sep 03 '19 at 07:56
