What if I need to reinstall Capsule for some reason? What do I need to
backup so I can restore after the re-installation?
I don't care about the pulp contents since I can re-sync it back.
There are clients connected to capsule. If I re-install, would the cert
change and affect the clients? The clients are already placed in their
hostgroups and host-collection and I don't want to lose the configuration.
The answer I got to the same question from RH support is that capsule
doesn't need to be backedup. You just reinstall it using the same ip.

Well I'd backup DHCP, DNS and TFTP data for sure, because getting
these back is some work which is I believe not documented yet. There
are some scripts floating around which can be used to reconstruct
DHCP, DNS and/or TFTP configurations but I'd rather pull this out from
backups.
In ideal world, you have both Foreman and Smart Proxies as VMs doing
regular snapshots and Pulp data on iSCSI or any other SAN remote
volumes.
