Then you need to rethink the process. Sure that's absolutely safest,
however how long will it take? What is the chance of issues with only
adding new? Down time is getting harder to get, and if the backup/restore
fails for some reason and it has to restart you've just bought a whole bunch
more down time.
I used to think image catalogs were not worth the time, now I can't imagine
working without them. I used to think PuTTY and SSH were for Unix, now I'm
on IBM i more than half the time with SSH via PuTTY. When Mike Pavlak
started the whole PHP thing on IBM I many years ago, I never thought open
source languages would ever catch on, clearly I was wrong about that. The
point is: "We've always done it that way" is one of the poorest excuses in
business and you partner has to start thinking about your needs not the
safest, easiest way to do it. Oh and by the way, that also adds lots of
billable hours to the process, as an added bonus to the partner.

In the past, our BP has always done another full restore for the actual
cut-over.

If that's the case (test conversion) then bring over everything you can as
fast as you can, then on conversion day you only need the small number of
new files.
