I am Looking to migrate Cobbler 1.4 onto RHEL Satellite 5.3 but do not believe current documentation solves my issue elegantly.

I use Cobbler without the WUI to deploy systems so have distros/profiles/systems along with various snippets. The existing Cobbler server is going to be rebuilt with 5.4/5 and Satellite 5.3 installed. Existing documentation suggests using Cobbler replicate but this would require the original system to remain untouched.
I am considering the following course of action: * replicate the existing RHEL Cobbler 1.4 to my Fedora Laptop (w/ Cobbler 2.0) * rebuild the existing RHEL Cobbler 1.4 with RHEL Satellite 5.3 * replicate from Fedora Laptop (w/ Cobbler 2.0) to RHEL Satellite 5.3
Is it possible to simply backup a list of Cobbler directories/files and migrate this to the RHEL Satellite 5.3 server?
I would like to document this process for the community once established.
Regards,
