i have a 3 Gb index and another one of 800 Mb, the update rate is small and the number or concurrent search right now it's also small, but i made the synchronization during a stress test without any problem, you just have to copy the cfs file before the segments one, and as the most copy software list the directories in alphabetically order, it always happen. (cfs files start with an "_" character, so they are always the first to be copied). in my case this works well because i don't have big restrictions, for example the result of the search could be diferent between 2 machines during an small amount of time, and the incremental updates are done every couple hours.
If you tell us your constraints, I could suggest you more complex approaches .
