Describe your question in detail.

Hello, I am operating a private blockchain network consisting of 8 nodes using Aptos Validator version 1.23.5. I am backing up data to AWS S3 using the continuously command of the aptos-debugger tool.

Recently, I needed to change the S3 bucket, so I backed up the data to a new S3 bucket using the same method. As a result, the size of the original backup data was 30GB, whereas the newly created backup data is only 3GB. For reference, the size of the db/ledger_db directory in the target validator is 12GB.

Upon examining the structure of the backed-up files, I noticed that the data with the state_epoch_ prefix is significantly lacking. The original backup data contains state_epoch_ files starting from epoch 500, whereas the new backup only has data for the most recent epoch, 1400.

Would such a reduced backup still be sufficient for restore, or is there any additional work I need to do?
