For backup reasons we need resolve the following scenario:

Computer A where Jenkins is installed, it manages many projects arranged through Folders, such as: Project X, Project Y etc. The point is: each project is managed through a Jenkins' Folder.

Where for each Folder or project, it has Views and it contains the Jobs included according a view and all of them were previously executed.

Computer B is available and Jenkins is installed.

What is the best approach to do a backup from Computer A for a specific Folder containing all the configuration about Views and all the Jobs executed previously? ... In some way we need the computer B be the new A, keeping all the complete log history from the beginning for all the previous executed Jobs and keeping the Views configuration.

Some special plugin?

From the JENKINS_HOME location (normally from .jenkins), go to the jobs directory and copy and paste the project directory in the other computer in the same location: jobs directory (JENKINS_HOME location).

Note: I have a project directory within the jobs directory because through Jenkins a Folder was created for a custom project to contain all the Views and Jobs related.
