There isn't anything special about the process, in particular - if you can't use the event data to rebuild the player profile in your new system, you would simply use the existing API calls to copy the data. You could either do that by having the client sign into PlayFab and read the data out, copying it to your new system, or you could set up a Scheduled Task that runs an Azure Functions Cloud Script that writes all the data out to where you need it. Even in the case of the latter though, I'd recommend a first-login double-check, so that if a player signed in while PlayFab was still the backend, but after you exported their info using the script, you can "catch up" the newer data.
