You should copy also the plugins or at least the plugin that you use for authentication purposes (matrix based, LDAP). I have migrated data between Jenkins servers using thinBackup plugin. You should be able to login using the initial Jenkins password. 

sudo cat /var/lib/jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword

I have written a guide on the Jenkins setup in Ubuntu, it could help you.
