Best Way To Back Up Jenkins in K8s As DR

[khangtictoc]

As the title mentioned, from your perspective. What is the best or most suitable approach to back up all Jenkins data (jobs, build history, passwords, all items in configuration tabs, shared library config, credentials , ...)

Given that Jenkins is deployed as Helm chart on Kubernetes cluster.

Since you are running on Kubernetes with Helm, I strongly recommend avoiding the traditional "all-in-one" backup plugins (like thinBackup).

If you want the solution that works with K8s-native. You can try the "Modern" Best Practice below:

Layer	What it is	Best Backup Approach
Configuration	Job definitions, System settings, Shared Lib config	Git (via JCasC)
State / Data	Build history, Logs, Artifacts, Test reports	Volume Snapshots / Velero
Secrets	Passwords, API Keys, Credentials	External Secret Store / K8s Secrets

That's reasonable. I find that Velero would be the suitable solution for my case as all-in-one backup. Many thanks
