I've done this with a Glo to an Aura.
I just selected everything from the Glo, right clicked and zipped it up to the desktop (using like 7z or something, this is important cause the file/folder names maybe too long for windows if not zipped) and then deleted everything off the Aura, and unzipped to the the drive. This can be done at the point after a factory reset by clicking 'I don't have Wi-Fi"
Everything come back on the Aura exactly as it was on the Glo after you disconnect, except you have to re-connect to Wi-Fi cause these settings are stored elsewhere.
The key is to have the folders/files in the exact same spot and the DB wont refresh, you maybe able to directly copy from one device to another but I never tried.
