You will not be able to move your TSM db from Windows to Linux (or from
any OS to any other dissimilar OS). The file structures are too different.

Your best bet to have both servers up. Use the new one for backups and use
the old one (as necessary) for restored of legacy information. If you're
using the original library for the new server, there are elements of
problems with this.

After a period of time determined by your business needs, just turn off
the old server.

Do not consider export/import choices for client data. Exports and imports
TAKE TOO #%^#^&%@$!! LONG! (Listening, Tivoli?)
