Can I migrate existing cold data to SmartStore S3 bucket?

Hi,

I'm going to tear down an old separate Splunk environment to consolidate on 1 platform.

The main platform is using SmartStore and the instances are ephemeral, so disks will disappear when they rebuild (monthly for patching etc).

Is it possible to move the existing data from the separate splunk environment over to the smartstore s3 bucket and add the index definitions to the indexes.conf and it automatically pick up the old data?
