CloudBees Backup

This plugin simplifies backing up Jenkins. Adminsitrators can now save hours by easily backing up and recovering from crashes using the backup. Users can easily create a new job type called "Backup" and back up build records, job and system configurations. The backups can be stored on a local machine or a sftp server. The plugin offers mutliple retention policies for the records such as keeping the last 'n' records, keep all backups or an exponential decay algorithm to save space.
