We did something sismilar, keeping the old jukebox around for a while.

Install 7.1.2, then import the indexes. The 6.1 to 7.X upgrade is actually
an install and migration.

Should work. But couldn't you take the indexes with you (to the new server)?
That's what I did. We are going migrate to LTO2 as well, on a new server
(w2k3),
but for now this machine is running the old DLT-robot, with the old indexes.
Only thing is, you'll have to install 6.1.3 first on the new machine, copy
the
indexes and then migrate to 7.1.2.
