I know and I did that manual copy many times in the past. But I do not want that.
I just want a new node to be like a "child" to the old ones and instead of going out in internet to use local nodes. That's all.
So no interruption of existing nodes, just a smooth local sync. Once is done, to switch back to "normal" sync.
I know it is a bitcoin-cli command but can't find right now.
I remember I did something like that long time ago with Bitcoin Core/QT app, pointing to another node in LAN and grab the blocks from that local IP.
Ok then you could try "bitcoin-cli addnode" commads for the new node and add the old one local.
