Starting over is easy, just do it. It's only hard if you want to bring
the old data with you. Depending on the retentions you use in the
current environment, your data may roll off in a reasonable amount of
time. If it's true that you don't do a lot of old restores, then you can
just import a tape into the new system if you need it.
