Can the container be exported? Can user recreate an container base on the exported image?

Hi all,
could you help to take a look at this? thanks.
I created a container with this image and downloaded the remote index of central rep, and then I exported the container to be a docker image and tired to imported it into another server. It supposed to work normal after I created a corresponding container, but two issues encountered:

1. the nexus failed to start and the log complaint no valid JVM existed.
   --- I fixed it
2. and then the nexus service succeeded to run, but it seemed that all the repositories lost the indexes I ever downloaded.

can the container be exported? Can user recreate an container base on the exported image?

Really appreciate your comments, thanks. : )
