Migrate entire index to new index with different name

[rdevine]

So we're trying to migrate all of the data in the default 'main' index into a new index with a different name. I am fine with taking all of the data that is in that index. Can i just copy the raw files to a new path and create a new indexes.conf file? or do i have to go the import export route?
