Build new box, use same install dirs. and master host name.
Stage all DSSU's, expire disk images, delete DSSU's. (..or move them as well)
Do Hot-Catalog backup to disk/tape of old box.
FTP files to new box. (or connect tapelib.)
Do Recovery... reconfigure tape/dssu's........Done!
- and you have still a full fallback in old box.
If successful, donate 1000$ to whoever... Even.

I have recently done exactly this except I migrated between Windows 2K and
Windows 2003 Master Server. Process will be exactly the same regardless
of O/S. You must restore the catalog because it has all of your image information
policies, licenses, and configuration.

In any case after restoring the Catalog the system was up and running configuration
and all.

Just make sure you know the exact syntax of the bprecover command and the
exact paths of the tapes / disk storage and how to mount tapes in your library
without robtest (if you use a library).
