I have a job that runs each night and does an rsync of $JENKINS_HOME, skipping 
the history. Specifically, I use this command:

rsync --verbose --itemize-changes --archive --omit-dir-times --whole-file 
--stats --exclude-from=/path/to/jenkins_home/rsync_exclude_filters.txt --delete 
/path/to/jenkins_home/ /path/to/jenkins_home_backup/

where the rsync_exclude_filters.txt file contains this:
/*.log
/fingerprints/
/log/
/logs/
/plugins/*/
/plugins/maven*
/monitoring/
/updates/
/war/
/jobs/*/builds/
/jobs/*/javadoc/
/jobs/*/last*
/jobs/*/nextBuildNumber
/jobs/*/scm-polling.log
/jobs/*/svnexternals.txt
*.bak
*~


I would exclude workspace (as in vast majority of caseses this is dowanloaded or generated), but keep builds as there might be important artifacts there (if they are not important you should not store them in first place). Also if you have tests in your build jobs and builds are not preserved then you will loose testing history, this might not be very important, but looks nice ;-).

Regards,
Nux.
