As someone who has done a number of these conversions, they've gotten to be 
pretty trivial since 6.x.  Prior to 6.x they were a royal pain.

If you can preserve the same master server name, that will help.  

In my experience, it was always easier to delete all the tape devices and 
recreate them after the upgrade.   If you end up changing your master server 
name, you'll need to use the nbemmcmd -renamehost command to change all the 
references from the old master server name to the new.  

Try to make sure the same version of NBU is installed on both platforms.   

Post move, you'll also need to run nbdb_move to reflect the new location.  

Aside from that, you will not be able to transfer the job history.  Most of the 
files should be transferred using ASCII ftp with the exception of the IMAGE 
files, which should be transferred using Binary ftp.  

I would to a test migration first as I am recalling all the info from memory 
and it's been a few months since I had to do a migration.
