I was trying to take a backup of an existing VM. But unfortunately it failed while configuring backup itself. Indeed it was actually provisioned from an backup of an existing machine which was already backed up. How come now alone I could not take a backup? The error was

Backing up and Restoring Jenkins configuration and Logs |
Is there an easy way to backup and restore a Jenkins master (config, logs, etc)?
Is it just a case of compressing and decompressing the directory (on Centos7):
/usr/share/tomcat/.jenkins?
|
You can just copy the files on JENKINS_HOME or for a better approach you can use
thinBackup
With thinBackup you can easily make the backup and restore.
