If it is possible, I would run 2 parallel environments, one being your
existing and the other being the new with your linux master. Start
backing up to the new and keep the old around until all of your backup
images expire. I went from an AIX master to Linux which is entirely
doable without all of the professional services hubub, but it was
easier to me to just migrate to the new through attrition.
This is what I did when faced with a similar situation.
The one caveat is you cannot share a media server between the two
master servers. If you have only a single tape subsystem that cannot
be shared between two hosts, that will limit your options.
In case the OP doesn't know this, FYI many libraries can do
"partitioning" so that each server sees part of the library and some of
the tape drives.
