Hey Thomas, most likely the hudson folder should be backed up: - https://wiki.eclipse.org/Using_Hudson/Administering_Hudson which matches with the Jenkins one too: https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Administering+Jenkins
As a suggestion: I'd rather consider to upgrade on batches firstly, moving from 1.4 to 1.5, then 1.6 then 2.0,... based on the LTS ones and https://jenkins.io/doc/upgrade-guide/ might help you, as Slide also suggested Cheers On Friday, 6 April 2018 16:04:27 UTC+1, Thomas Dunlap wrote: > > All: > > After some digging in the documents and looking at my current > installation, I get the feeling the getting back my current v1.472 > installation, I should be able to rename the config.xml file to > config_original.xml then install jenkins-war-1.472.war using > > java -jar jenkins-war-1.472.war --httpPort=8080 > > in the D:\Hudson folder.
