On Monday I will be moving my Netbackup server to a new office.
I've never done a move like this but it seems to me like this should not be difficult. Here are the steps I think I need to do:

Change the 1^st 'Server =' line to the name of the server on the 'bp.conf'. It will have the same server name but the domain will be a new trusted domain.

This suggests to me that you're changing the name of the master server. This is not supported and simply changing the host name like this will *NOT* work.

Since I will be using the same catalog I will be able to restore the files from my old clients to the new clients if necessary. I will be using the same LTO-3 tapes from the other office. The only stuff I think I will need to restore are the from the Windows Exchange server which moved to the same office Netbackup is moving to a few weeks ago and a Windows file server that is being moved to a different office.

If the master server name changes, your original catalog will not work. There are embedded server names in the various files, including the device manager. The fully qualified master server name must not change. A few people have done it without Symantec Professional Services but it's non-trivial and it's very unlikely you'll have a detailed task list in place by Monday.
