When migrating a ServiceControl instance to a new server or system, it's not obvious how to transfer the data of the existing SC instance to the new SC instance.
It seems that the only approach at the moment seems to just copy the whole database (or create a backup in maintenance mode) (see https://docs.particular.net/servicecontrol/backup-sc-database#important-notes-and-restrictions) which seems to be a brittle approach, as according to our documentation, the instances need to have the same service name (which might not be desired by the user):

It's difficult to export/import data between ServiceControl instances

We can spend some time improving the documentation (perhaps having a dedicated "migrating data" section) on exporting/importing to try make the process clearer - possibly even include some powershell scripts.
