Well, you can't restore the old Windows files directly to the new
server. If the old Windows-based Domino server is still up and running,
you should be able to move restored files from the old server to the new
one--I think Domino has some administrative tools to do so.

Otherwise, ditch the old backups and reclaim your tapes.
