In Hudson or Jenkins, how can you restore deleted builds?

I accidentally deleted some builds for a job that I would have rather kept. I restored the builds on disk from backup, but they still do not show up when I am on the status page for that job.

I have tried both triggering another build for the job and re-starting Hudson.

How can I fully-restore these builds? Is there a DB that Hudson uses to store this type of information?

In addition to Williams (https://stackoverflow.com/a/3399103/142207) answer you'll need to re-add it to all the custom views.

Inside your %HUDSON_HOME% directory is a subdirectory called "jobs". Under "jobs" are subdirectories for every project. Inside each one are subdirectories for each build.

You need to make sure that jobs\<projectname> exists, and then copy the missing build directories inside.

Click "Manage Hudson/Reload Configuration From Disk" to make Hudson recognize the newly added builds. Not necessary to restart your servlet container (e.g. Tomcat) if you use one.

Depends what you restored. It sounds like you restored the workspace folder, but this folder is irrelevant for historical information. I would first shut down Hudson and than restore the build folder and the modules folder. Than you can restart Hudson. For more information ask the Hudson project.
