We did it when we were at NetBackup 3.4 and it's changed a lot since 
then.  It's very, very definitely not for the faint at heart and there 
are many conditions that will make it hard if not impossible (binary and 
ascii files with a mix of line terminators is just one issue you'll run 
into).  I had two NetBackup engineers involved just to change the 
hostname of an upgraded media server on 6.0.

Your simple procedure is:
- Install NBU on the Solaris server.  Make it a master server
- Purchase a new robot and new media for the new master
- Do all your new backups to the new Solaris master and use the old 
server just for restores.
- When the majority of your backup images on the Windows master have 
expired, use bpimport on the rest.
- Retire the old master and robot.
