    ...I'd cut over in 1 go to be honest. You're managing 2 different backup vendors at the same time.

    I'd honestly do it this way:

    1. install BE 2010 R3 on your new server, and patch with SP1 and any further patches. You can use LiveUpdate for this, or do so manually. 

    2.Take a final backup using ARCserve (and include installation media if you have the ISO). Write-protect the tape physically and lock away.

    3. Uninstall the ARcserve agents off the servers in question, and push-install the BE 2010 R3 agents to the servers.

    4. Configure the jobs accordingly.

     

    This is the way I'd do it, but it depends on your level of experience and comfort in doing it all-in-one.
