I copied from node that I've been running for quite some time at raspberry. but those raspberry is broken for now. So I hired VPS, installed fresh node and copied whole blocks directory
I didn't do reindex, unfortunately, just make a copy and started bitcoind
You can try to stop and reindex it now but it may or may not work since you already a chunk of the blockcain downloaded.
Unless it's a time or cost of bandwidth issue I would just let it run at this point. Depending on the performance of the VPS it should not be more then a couple of days for a complete sync.
