I am currently using Jenkins on my development PC. I installed it on my development PC, because I had limited knowledge on this tool; so I tested on it in my development PC. Now, I feel comfortable with Jenkins as my long term "partner" in the build process and would like to "move" this Jenkins to a dedicated server.
Before this I have done few builds and have the artifacts archived from each build. In particular, the build number is very important to me for version control.
How can I export all the Jenkins information from my current PC to my new server?

We can copy Jenkins from one server to another by simply copying the related directory. We can also use thin backup plugins to copy Jenkins from one server to another. We can copy Jenkins from one server to another by cloning the job directory by a different name.
According to the manual, https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Administering+Jenkins, it's simply to move the corresponding job directory to the new Jenkins instance. The "Copy existing Job" option requires the job to exist on the current Jenkins instance. It's an option to use the existing job as a template.
Following the Jenkins wiki, you'll have to:
chown -R jenkins:jenkins $JENKINS_HOME
JENKINS_HOME is by default located in ~/.jenkins on a Linux installation, yet to exactly find where it is located, go on the http://your_jenkins_url/configure page and check the value of the first parameter: Home directory; this is the JENKINS_HOME.
