Migrating readable archived index data to new instance

Hi,

Im looking to migrate readable archived data from a singlesite-multisite cluster to a standalone instance for a POC. The archive data is still readable using hadoop data roll and is stored on hdfs as a standard splunk rawdata db.tgz.

-What would be the best process to do this?
-Is it as simple as copy over the folder and realign the new conf files to the new standalone instance?

The point being that ultimately we will migrate from cluster to cluster with TB of readable archived data(want to test on small scale first).

Any thoughts on this process?

Thanks
