Very much viable. Files can be moved from /OMERO/Pixels or /OMERO/Files
really however and whenever you like. OMERO does not directly do any of
this work for you so some effort will be required on your part to move
data between your repositories.

We're all certainly happy to help guide you through this as best we can.
