I suspect some manual intervention will be required (unless others think of a really clever way). How about creating a new configuration, such as DAILY2 for the new tape library. It would gradually build up its history as it fills tapes, but YOU the intelligent human will have to know to do your restores from DAILY (or whatever the old config was called) until such time as the new config has the date that your restore needs to come from. I.E. keep a record of the date when the new library goes into effect, and watch the dates of what you are restoring. If earlier than the new library, than restore from OLD-CONFIG-NAME. If the date is new enough that the new library has done a backup and has the restore that you want, then restore from NEW-CONFIG-NAME.

In your case, I would probably keep the config name the same, but create a new name for the OLD-CONFIG (such as OLD-CONFIG ;) or OLD-DAILY) so that I could keep them straight. Or DAILY-LTO2 and keep the new one as just DAILY. You get the gist. Whatever feels best for you.
