Yes that would be the ideal case, but the limited space on our old brittle jenkins made our system very fragile.
We could only keep a couple of versions of each build. Result? We lost the stable builds, hence I started to backup files in the easiest way possible, on a dumb file server. How could we have avoided the current mess? Simply by moving early enough to the right infrastructure half a year ago would have saved us many burnt brain cells. So I naturally get upset if all of a sudden everything has to work out of the blue. We left the old jenkins in ruins and we are building the new one ad-hoc. There is no going back as the old server is simply dead, besides our admins are clueless about the crashes, taking random reboots as a good habit. So I expect that YOU take your time to look at the new setup and understand it. If I had to take a look at our budget I would do the same, of course with my amount if complaint because I would not know your private system...
