Exporting/Importing teststand settings.

[VikAsBaRai]

TestStand environment settings are stored in multiple files contained in Cfg folder that is located in ProgramData.
If we have modified the test environment settings as per our requirement and wants to deploy on another machine we have to replace the Cfg folder on that PCs with ours to see the environment setting changes in action.
Ideally, we should be able to maintain custom Cfg folder instead of overwriting existing Cfg folder. Is their any other way to do this instead of overwriting the TS system files for as a good practise.

Cfg files are not considered TestStand system files and are meant to be customized.  This is why they aren't in the TestStand folder and are under ProgramData.  Currently it is best practice to deploy them like you mentioned.

TestStand 2016 makes all this easier but you would need to upgrade.  Check out this article under TestStand Environments: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/52330/en/
