job-backup-plugin

Description

Job Backup & Restore lets Jenkins users export and import jobs and folders as a ZIP file using the Jenkins web interface.

The existing solution require terminal access or command-line scripts, which can be difficult for beginners. This plugin was created to be easy to use, especially for users who are not familiar with Jenkins internals.

At the company where I work, there is no centralized Jenkins server. Each developer runs Jenkins on their own machine. This plugin makes it easy to share, back up, and move jobs between these Jenkins instances.

As a Software Architect, I created this plugin to solve a real, everyday problem in a simple and practical way.
