Only thing with this is if you want to go to W2K8 R2, you need 7.0 master 
server, I think?

So you would need to go to 7.x first on the existing environment, then move 
across...

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Server OS and NBU upgrades

your bits are changing to Windows x64 2008, right?

I wouldn't waste time with 32-bit Windows at all going forward....

get current machine on 6.5.6

cold catalog backup

have new machine ready with 2008...same hostname

recover catalog to new box/OS

test backups and restores

wait a couple of weeks..then upgrade to 7.x
