What options do recommend for using rsync to move the splunk database (indexes) to the new server? I have my splunkDB outside of the /opt/splunk directory tree because it is a separate volume (raid array).

I'm planning to shut down both splunk instances before moving the splunkdB, is there anything else to do before moving (copying it, actually).
