What software are you using?   Usually this can’t be done you just manually type in for each different software you’re using.  That’s why I only use chirp and only have radios that use chirp.  It would take forever to program my 20plus radios if I used different software all the time.

Anytone and Alinco software is good because it allows exporting and importing data from CSV files but the format of one model must be matched or data will fill the wrong columns. RT Systems takes that up a notch and makes it even easier to move data from one model to another but you still need to understand the data model. 
Without knowing which software you’re using for your Baofeng it’s hard to advise. Chirp is free and works well. RT Systems is not free but works very well except for rare instances.
