[cobbler] Backing up cobbler server

        What is the current best practice for backing up and restoring a
cobbler server's data, as part of a disaster recovery scenario?

        The best I can see in the online documentation is to use the
'replicate' functionality; but that requires rsync, which seems an odd
requirement (why not allow ssh?), and it also requires that you have a
single working cobbler server in the first place.

        Maybe another way to ask the question: if I wanted to restore my
cobbler configuration from tape, what would I have to do besides restore
/var/lib/cobbler/* and /etc/cobbler/settings from backup and run 'cobbler
sync'?
