I've personally never done it and I'm not sure that list exists.

Tepo contents (and all the stuff you'll need for plugins and the like) 
are all under /var/lib/pulp. That part is easy.

Mongo I _think_ is as simple as /var/lib/mongodb. You'll see in there 
pulp_database.{0,1,ns} which I'd guess is the entire database contents, 
but I don't know that for a fact.
