Thanks for all the responses. They've been incredibly helpful
This is my final proposal.
Take two backups of the system in BRMS but exclude any application data. I
since learned that there is such an option.
Erase the discs and reformat the RAID as per the first response to my
query.
Ship the server as it is including one backup tape to the target location.
Restore the system from the backup tape and then restore the application
data which we are able to transfer securely over our internal network. Then
we should be good to go.
I just need to make sure that the BRMS backup taken in the first step is
something that can be IPLd from. I'm sure it can be.
Just out of interest if I only ship the server with say three discs and
sent the other three separately if either shipping was intercepted could
any sensible data be recovered from the drive? There's been a lot of
discussion about the drives in which location but nothing about if some of
the drives are missing from the raid.
Thanks

With SAS drives even the Load Source location doesn't matter. The onlything you need to get right is that the load source drive is on the
RAID card as designated for the system. Since there are only 6 drivesthere
will be only 1 RAID card. So, stuff 'em in anywhere and you're good togo.

Wow, even more easy, then. Thanks for the hint!
