You can restore it to the E2003 RSG as long as E2000 is at least SP3 and both are in the same AG. The swing method however may be your best bet.

I have a remote office with a Windows 2000 / Exchange 200 server. I need to upgrade this box to Windows 2003 / Exchange 2003. I will be adding disks and re-carving the arrays, so obviously I will be doing a clean build. The server name will be staying the same. Question is, can I perform a backup of the existing Exchange 2000 stores (using Backup Exec 8.6), rebuild the box, and then restore the Exchange data after I get the box rebuilt and Exchange 2003 on it? I guess that begs another question, what is the most efficient way to accomplish what I need to do? There is only about 5 gig of data or so on this particular server.
