Moving master node. Is there a way to copy over all the jobs?

Question

All my jobs are currently running on localhost. I want to move my master node to a remote machine. Is it possible to move all the jobs over to the new master? I have many jobs set up and I don't want to manually recreate all of them.

Thanks so much!

Answer 1

For this kind of job I simply copy the job folder from Jenkins installation to the new location and then I load projects from disks. If you use now a master-slave configuration I think you should look in the Jenkins installation folder on the master PC. There you should find a folder called jobs.
