Migrating BestSync to new server

We are migrating a server that runs bestsync to another datacenter.
We are not migrating the actual server but rather rebuilding it from scratch.

Does anyone know the best way to migrate the BestSync application (rather than exporting/importing each task)?
Can we just copy the whole application folder? Are there specific folders we need to be aware of?

We also want to ensure that the tasks do not run in the new environment till cutover. What is the best way to ensure that the tasks dont run before we need them to?

thanks for the help.

If the new environment may be different from the old environment. The best way is to export all the tasks to files, and then import the tasks from the export files.
When a task is imported, it will not be run until you confirm the task setting by opening the task settings and then pressing the OK button.

Thank you for confirming.

All our tasks are "Run as Service" tasks. If i disable the BestSync service will this prevent all the tasks from running (until i start the service during cutover)?

If you disable BestSync Service, all the tasks that are set to run as Windows Service will not be started automatically.
