You can't convert, you have to retrieve to disk and re-archive to Spectrum.
I've done this for other systems and also moved archives from Spectrum Protect to other systems. Scripting is what I used, inventory all the archives via a script and create a script that retrieves them to a logical directory and then archive that with dynamically generated names with a loop. If the source doesn't support scripting it can be tedious, I've done that before and it can take months and Excel sheets to keep track of everything.
