    You need to back up the db and import it in new SEPM

    Here are the steps

    Hello,

    There are two different situations:

     In situation 1, MACHINE_2 will have the same IP address and/or hostname as MACHINE_1

     In situation 2, MACHINE_2 will have a different IP address and hostname from MACHINE_1

    I would suggest you to check this Article:

    Hello,

    all you mentioned such as policies, groups and other settings are stored into the product database, that's why import/export it, as suggested by Rafeeq, is the best option here.
