You can look (maybe with `ls -lrt`) in `.config/Duplicati` in root’s home directory for recent databases.  
If you find a Duplicati-server.sqlite, that’s its job configurations. Random-letter.sqlite are the job databases.  
Assuming distro and folder layout stay the same, databases that still match destination can just be moved.

EDIT:

[Migration to new PC - faq wanted](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/migration-to-new-pc-faq-wanted/5990/7) is on Windows but gives the same steps with a little bit more information.  
I’m not quite sure what you have on the rebuilt computer now.
