As you are looking to do this yourself, and probably without cost the Backup and Restore option should be the easiest as everyone else has stated.. Although you do need to have an OUTAGE to the backup environment from when you start the backup on the old master until after you have completed the restore on the new master.
Tranzman is a software solution that supports ALL NetBackup versions form 6.0 to 10.4
It requires you to have DIFFERENT names for the old and new servers as both systems need to be on the network at the same time, and will need to be able to talk to clients/servers to test connectivity and ensure certificates are pushed/pulled before switch-over. It works by reading catalog data from one working NetBackup environment and writing it into the other. It keeps backup environments online for as long as possible with only a short outage needed at the time of switch-over.
Tranzman supports:-
migrations to/from clusters
between different operating systems (windows, hpux, solaris, aix, linux )
between different platforms (byo, flex, flexscale)
allows you to JUMP from old versions of NetBackup to Newer Versions without having to do upgrades.
