Hello,
I dont know all the details but would installing a new windows servers, 
doing a host transfer would be an option for you.
If so, you can start backing up via new server all the clients and since 
networker writes in open format you can still recover old data, using your 
windows server this time.( ristrctions may apply).

If need be you can keep the old server around for recovers.
