1) Make a copy of DATA and CATALOGS folder
2) Install new OS
3) Install Backup Exec and then replace existing DATA and CATALOGS folder
4) I would suggest to upgrade to BE2010 R3 once the above process is completed

Ensure the server names are the same too, otherwise you may need to run some additional tools to update the database configuration.
