Best way to back up Jenkins?

[Christopher Ambler]

What's the best practice way of backing up a full Jenkins install and config suitable for restoring most easily if a machine is fed to a dragon or our data center were to be hit by a meteor?

Is there a plugin that will do a backup, say weekly, to Github?

The best developers are lazy. I'm lazy and would like to automate this...

Hi Christopher,

 

CloudBees have a commercial backup plugin – and there is a couple of open source equiv (thin backup).

 

I use the CB version – it can scp or write it to the file system – but you could easily have another job that pulled the file in and ran some git commands to push it off site.

I would guess the open source equiv would be able to do something similar.
