the previous comment should be 'directories containing spaces'
This script does not copy hidden folders.
Try to replace..
for i in `ls jobs`; do echo "jobs/$i/config.xml";done > config.totar
tar zcf /tmp/jenkins_config.tar.gz *.xml userContent/ plugins/ -T config.totar
by...
tar zcf /tmp/jenkins_config.tar.gz *.xml userContent/ plugins/ jobs/*/config.xml
Is it not necessary to copy the users/
directory?
You're missing some files
$JENKINS_HOME/*.xml
$JENKINS_HOME/jobs/*/*.xml
$JENKINS_HOME/nodes/*
$JENKINS_HOME/plugins/*.jpi
$JENKINS_HOME/secrets/*
$JENKINS_HOME/users/*

Line 10 does not work for directories containing changes, better will be:
find jobs -name config.xml > config.totar
