Even if I didn't care about the RRDs? Just want the devices, strings etc. It's all in the db right?

The config itself is one file, the data though, can be fairly substantial, you need to copy all your rrd's and any other data (possibly your mysql database). On my installation I have something like 60G of data in RRDs.

I've done this several times already, even from Ubuntu to Centos. My short version is as follows:

New build: setup observium as if it was a new install but make sure when creating the mysql db to use the same username password as the old build. DO NOT setup cron yet.

Old box: backup mysql db, copy everything to new box, restore old db to the new mysql db.

setup cron, start mysqld, start httpd.

I think you are confusing a wall clock with a calendar :D

Moving RRD from 32 to 64 is a well know if wall clock consuming process. Just a loop to dump the XML format to SSH and recover the binaries

Either you move the whole of /opt/observium + your mysql db + cronjobs ,or you do a fresh install (think of the dependencies!), import your database, copy your config.php and rrd directories, and off you go.

Note: if you're moving from 32 to 64 bits, you're in for a world of pain (thanks Tobi!)
