Migrate Backup Exec Jobs/Catalogs/Lists from BE11d Media Server to 12.5 Media server

Is it possible to migrate all the jobs/catalogs/lists from a 11d media server to a new 12.5 media server? Not sure if during an upgrade the format of the files changes from 11d to 12.5

 Yep - basics are shutdown services on both servers, copy catalogs and database information across to new server, start only SQL service on new server, run commands to change the servername inside the database and to upgrade the database schema, start the BE services, re-target all the jobs to devices on the new server, delete the 'orphaned' devices that are on the new server but are actually references to the devices on the old server.

There is a document somewhere explaining the process which I will post if I can find it

 You need to combine this
http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/286729.htm - which talks about upgrading the version of the database
and this 
http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/319367.htm - which is how to move the data from one server to another
