Query Regarding Splunlpkg.backup Movement

Observer

If we move the folder "Splunlpkg.backup" from the indexer server to another data mount (i.e., from /dev/sda3/  to /dev/other), what could be the consequences? Will there be any data loss?

I'm 99% sure that is not a Splunk file and you can do whatever you want with it.
