I'm preparing to migrate my mailman V2.1.9 (just upgraded from 2.1.8 last night) lists, etc. to a new server. I found this article http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/msg11052.html directing me how to back up/restore, etc.

Also see <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.004.htp> and perhaps other FAQs including 4.6 and 4.18 and 4.29.

It tells me to back up config.db for each list. I don't have/can't find any config.db files within the mailman system. How bad is that?

config.db went away in Mailman 2.1. It is now config.pck. The instructions in the article you point to contain unnecessary steps. It isn't necessary to create the list with newlist on the new server. Also, the config.db files they refer to (now config.pck files) are in the lists/listname/ directories, so following the steps literally will move them twice.
