Can we have 2 mattermost servers pointing to the same AmazonS3 bucket in order to export data?

Hello everyone,

I wish to use:

mmctl export create

This is breaking due to “soft-deleted” posts in the MySQL tables.

I have downloaded the `mattermost` database using mysqldump to my laptop.

My query is : Can I start a new Mattermost server in my laptop, run this housekeeping script < Data Purge for Free Version of Mattermost · GitHub > and then export the data using mmctl incantation in my laptop? I am using Amazon S3 bucket for the attachments. When I start a new Mattermost server, for a short duration there will be two servers using the same AmazonS3 bucket. I do not plan to do any writes from the server on my laptop. I only plan to read/export the data.

Is this a good plan? Can someone please tell me ?

Thank you,

Ashim
