Manual SME Server restore from "Backup to desktop" file.

Reference

After the backup file (smeserver.tgz) has been copied to the new server, on the new server do:

cd /
signal-event pre-restore
tar -C / -xzvf smeserver.tgz

If the Lets Encrypt Contrib is installed...

config setprop letsencrypt status disabled
config delprop modSSL crt
config delprop modSSL key
config delprop modSSL CertificateChainFile

Then...

/sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-upgrade
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event reboot

and after rebooting...

cd /
rm smeserver.tgz

May need to reconfigure server and set to a static external IP address!
