The data is stored in the associated *.rrd file. look in the data source for the path to the file(s) you're interested in. save and migrate those files over. In the new cacti installation, use the wizard to create the new graph for the interface(s). Then restore your old *.rrd file(s) and update the path in the data source as needed.
