I have to agree that the best way is to unload/reload. If your backup takes 3 hours then plan about 12 hours to complete the save/install drives/init drives/start raid/restore. When you remove the old drives label them in case you are given a bad 70gb drive & have to put the 35's back in.
I do not see how HA software would help. HA software will create journal entries and send them to a remote system to be applied the the files in sequence. This does not seem to be his problem.

You didn't say if you were a 24x7x365 shop. If you then you'd better have
a HA solution like Mimix (if management really believes they are 24x7x365
they better put their money where their mouth is). Either way I strongly
recommend just doing the unload/reload. It may actually be less time in
the long run.
