Not really, but you do have a bottleneck in the transition from server A to server B. You'll have to import and export each nodes' data. If you can take your time on this, then you can just move one node at a time from old to new, and redirect the backup client to the new backup server. I did this on a large scale last year. - Allen S. Rout
