Hello,
try this list for RHN Satellite 5.4.0:

http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite/5.4/html/Installation_Guide/sect-Installation_Guide-Maintenance-Backing_Up_the_Satellite.html

Of-course your DB is not in  /rhnsat/, so you need to backup it
separately.

Note you do not want to just restore these configs on new system
(e.g. because of changed hostname). Or use
spacewalk-hostname-rename after configs restore.

Please let us know what was the problems during your migration.

Regards,
Jan
