Thanks for your help Trevor

I have managed to 

a) start a new server install with the software RAID I wanted - although I do 
get a worrying error on boot as posted in another thread, but it seems to 
work perfectly, even headless.

b) used sysresccd to boot the old server and using advice elsewhere on this 
list got the mount commands out of anaconda.program.log and mounted the old 
RAID partitions.

I've managed to successfully rsync off /home /etc and /root and I'm in the 
process of rsyncing the Bacula storage contents (long job as over 2TB)

The Postgresql backup and an old tgz I already had on my backup backup 
server :-)

Now it's just a case of working through each service and configuring it 
correctly. My only concern is version dependencies on the postgresql database 
and the Bacula Director config files but they're doable.
