I have backed up /var/lib/cobbler and /etc/cobbler, and used the old version to tweak a new installation.

This approach loses the distros - which are, if memory serves me, installed in /var/www/cobbler or some such.

Since I was upgrading versions of cobbler, it seemed safer to rebuild the distros from scratch. YMMV.
