Is there a way to restore a deleted job in Jenkins?

Question

I accidentally deleted a job in Jenkins... Is there a way to restore it? I have the files on disk but I don't remember the configurations and despite trying to reconfigure, I prefer to try to restore it, if i can...

Answer 1

If you have the files (including the job) and can copy it to correct location, there is "Reload configurations from disk" option in "Manage Jenkins" page.

Answer 2

I am using duplicity and duply as backup system. It works like a sharm! And then the "Reload configuration from disk" option.
