RPM does not do any difference, binaries are still mixed with configuration files.
Restore file written, only configuration files, see: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Administering+Jenkins are restored from archive.
Backup and restore only works for fixed versions.
If you restore from a different version of jenkins, then jenkins overwrites the whole folder, deleting restored files. (Note: Happens on container restart)
Possible solution: Installing from rpm, this way possibly the home folder does not contain binaries. This is the case with current installing from war file.
Alternative solution: New script for only backup and restore of configurations.
