Which of the below options are used for copying Jenkins from one server to another?

Question

A) Create a copy of an existing job by cloning the job directory in a different name.
B) Use backup plugins
C) Rename the existing job by renaming the directory.
D) Copy the related directory by sliding a job from one installation of Jenkins to another.

E) All the above

Answer 1

All of the above options are correct hence the answer is an option (E). We can copy Jenkins from one server to another by simply copying the related directory. We can also use thin backup plugins to copy Jenkins from one server to another. We can copy Jenkins from one server to another by cloning the job directory by a different name. Also, you can do this by renaming the existing job by renaming the directory. The important thing to remember is if you change the job name then you have to change any other job that tries to call the renamed job.

Answer 2

All the above are correct.

All of these options would help in reproducing, or duplicating, Jenkins jobs and configuration on one or more new servers

A) Directory cloning copies the job directories to generate a copy that can then be used

B) Backup plugins take care of backups so a backup created can be restore on new server with new instances of jenkins data in it

C) Name change allows renaming of folders, something useful when running multiple versions of jobs.

D) Copying directories between installations transfers jobs and configurations between servers.

Because each of these techniques can be applied in different contexts to copy or manage Jenkins data

E) All the above is correct.
