I want to update Debian 7.8 to 8.7. I tried to update and it went fine however Jenkins was broken and could not start the service. I tried everything but could find any solution. Finally I used purged command and it deleted previous configurations and builds like fresh install Now I restore the server and want to update again but I want a complete Jenkins backup of config and builds so restore it from last running instance. same login connected to window credential  and built config. What's the best practice to backup the configs as simple as possible (with less effort and problems) and configure and then merge the backuped files. Which data / config files I have to backup?
