  • Can you open manage Jenkins -> Configure system and still see the configurations under it? If yes can you save them and notice if the config.xml gets regenerated?

You can go to Manage Jenkins -> Configure System and observe if you still have all your configurations in it(in GUI). If yes, go ahead and save it. This should most likely regenerate the config.xml.



Once that's done. Go ahead and look in the config.xml file to see if your jobs, ldap configurations are available there.



Going forward use the ThinBackup Plugin to backup your configurations in the future. Its also always recommended to take backup of your Jenkins_Home directory. Use the Job Config history plugin to track and revert changes that is done to each job and global configurations.
