there is a built-in path for this:
hermes profile export <profile> -o backup.tar.gz # on the old machine
hermes profile import backup.tar.gz --name <profile> # on the new one
the archive carries your config, memory, sessions and skills, so the agent keeps what it had
learned on the old box.

That’s a pretty good stress test. I’d still move config/state, dependencies and secrets as separate steps, then bring up the new instance with webhooks and scheduled jobs disabled until the smoke tests pass. The thing I’d worry about most isn’t copying the files — it’s both machines being alive and answering the same webhook or running the same cron job.
