added a comment - @James Yin. Your suggestion of a chmod -R is a bit too permissive. After you have done that you have made the entire contents of /var/lib writeable by anyone with login access to your machine. I really would caution against doing that.
A better (untested) way would be to do
sudo mkdir /var/lib/jenkins_restore sudo chown jenkins /var/lib/jenkins_restore
or if that does not work and you really need to change the permissions of /var/lib then just do
sudo chmod 777 /var/lib ... perform restore ... sudo chmod 755 /var/lib
But certainly you do not need to supply the -R parameter to chmod.

added a comment - Creating /var/lib/jenkins_restore is not enough:
[ INFO] Restore started at [08/28/15 05:58:06] [ INFO] Working into /var/lib/jenkins_restore directory [ INFO] A old restore working dir exists, cleaning ... [ERROR] Unable to delete /var/lib/jenkins_restore
For now chmod 0777 /var/lib seems to be the only option.

This problem is caused by permission limit to Create folder, a workaround is chmod -R 0777 /var/lib, to set all permission to all user.
