Hello Jenkins Community! I currently have a Jenkins job which copies my JENKINS_HOME directory to another directory, tars the copied directory, and then commits the directory to source control (Git, Bitbucket).
As far as best practices go, what files within JENKINS_HOME directory should be excluded from the copy before committing to source control? The tarred copy of the directory resides in a Bitbucket repository which many users have access to, and I'd like to prevent our Bitbucket users from accessing sensitive files that reside in the JENKINS_HOME directory. >From the Jenkins Wiki <https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Administering+Jenkins> I was able to find the following information pertaining to backups: *Back up and restore* All the settings, build logs, artifact archives are stored under the JENKINS_HOME directory. Simply archive this directory to make a back up. Similarly, restoring the data is just replacing the contents of the JENKINS_HOME directory from a back up. Back ups can be taken without stopping the server, but when you restore, please do stop the server. It doesn't mention much as far as what files are unnecessary to backup or what files should be excluded for security reasons. Thanks in advance for any advice anyone may have! - Jason -- View this message in context: http://jenkins-ci.361315.n4.nabble.com/Backing-up-JENKINS-HOME-directory-files-to-exclude-tp4900826.html Sent from the Jenkins users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
