Is there a way to transfer jobs from one repository to another: In this case from beta6 to beta7.
Or it wouldn’t be recommended?
There was a job transfer script we had with Deadline 5, and our plan is to port it to Deadline 6.
You don’t need to transfer jobs from beta 6 to beta 7 though (or between any of the v6 betas). When you run the Repository installer for a new beta, just point to your existing repository installation folder, and use the same MongoDB settings. The installer will update the MongoDB database as necessary, and all of your jobs and settings will be maintained.

The fact is that we are installing the repository on a new server, and we might need to switch soon.
You can actually migrate your mongo database to another machine. First, install Mongo on the new machine, and then stop mongo if it’s running. Next, copy the deadline database files from the data folder on the old machine to the new one. If your mongo database name for Deadline was deadlinedb, then I think you just need the deadlinedb file(s) from the data folder. Start up mongo on the new machine again, and you should be good.
