How to backup Jenkins data to Another Server with a Jenkins job?

This pipeline automatically copies Jenkins data to another server. You should install rsync in your server beforehand. You can find the Jenkinsfile in my Github repo. Do not forget to change credentials-id, your-repo-name, and your folder name in the Jenkinsfile.

Go to Jenkins Dashboard

Select New Item

Enter an item name "Daily backup of Jenkins to another server"

Your daily backup is ready to use.
