Hey Anna,
The main way I would do this is by exporting all interactions first to AWS, then downloading to local - deleting from AWS - You could then also do a bulk delete from Genesys. There are a number of other things you can do here, but this would be the best. To search, you would need to index them - though the folders for each interaction include the conversation ID. So, you could pull the interaction data also and store that, and map it to the file location.
Hope this helps, happy to expand if you need.
