Recover previous Jenkins build configuration

Is there a way to recover a Jenkins build configuration from a previous build?

In order to access the Jenkins server I use I need to open an SOCKS proxy. I went to submit a modification to the configuration but the SOCKS tunnel had closed so I reconnected it. Jenkins/my browser displayed an error saying the reload failed and do I want to resubmit the POST request. I said yes and instead of submitting the changes to the configuration I wanted it submitted a blank body.

So now the configuration for my build is completely empty and I'm annoyed.

I tried checking online for solutions and didn't see any way to extract the configuration from a previous build

You should try using rebuild plugin.

1. Install rebuild plugin.
2. select the build that you want to rebuild and press rebuild.

The only thing that might have saved you is a backup ( or OS backup ?). There are various - Backup, ThinBackup, Periodic Backup, SCM Sync Configuration and others, but no Time Machine or D'oh! plugin that I know of.

Install the Job Configuration History and at least you'll quickly protected for the next time.
