I have 2022 BestSync on an older server "A".
I setup a new Server "B" with BestSync 2025.
How do I migrate from the older 2022 installation on server A to BestSync 2025 on Server B?
I tried copying the entire RISEFLY folder and doing an upgrade on the folder, nothing shows up for our configured tasks and Services on Server B.

Thank you for reaching out to us with your query regarding exporting tasks and configurations from a 2022 BestSync client and importing them to a 2025 client on a different server.
To export all the tasks and configurations, you need to locate the task setting file from your 2022 BestSync client. Here are the steps to follow:
1. **Locate the Task Setting File**: The task setting file is typically stored in the BestSync installation directory. The default path is usually:
```
<SystemDrive[C:]>\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\RiseFly\BestSync[Version]\
```
Replace `<User>` with your actual Windows username and `[Version]` with the version number of BestSync you are using.
2. **Copy the Task Setting File**: Once you have located the task setting file, copy it to the new server where the 2025 BestSync client is installed.
3. **Import the Task Setting File**: On the new server with the BestSync 2025, start BestSync and open the task settings from the [File] menu. This should restore all your tasks and configurations. Please note that folder paths in sync-tasks may differ on the new PC compared to the old PC, so you will need to modify the paths before starting the sync-tasks.
4. If you want to migrate the tasks that run as Windows Service, the setting file is here:
```
<SystemDrive[C:]>\ProgramData\RiseFly\BestSync[Version]\Service.xfsf
```
You need to copy the service.xfsf to <SystemDrive[C:]>\ProgramData\RiseFly\BestSync2025\Service.xfsf of the new PC.
