Hi,
I've nerver try it out, but this are the steps you should do to migrate your database 
(>= 7.3.0.21):
- shutdown the database (dbmcli -d<dbname> -u<user>,<passwd> db_offline)
- start the database in cold mode (dbmcli -d<dbname> -u<user>,<passwd> db_cold)
- set the migrate flag within the database (dbmcli -d<dbname> -u<user>,<passwd> 
util_execute migrate), this may take a few minutes.
- make a complete backup in cold mode.

You can use this special backup to create a new SAP DB instance in version 7.3 or 7.4. 

HTH,
Marco
