Hi @Simon C. -
What you need to do is stop all your jobs (disable them), take a current backup of your VBR DB config and store in a place accessible to the new VBR server, stop all your Veeam services, and pretty much follow the User Guide on server migration.
You’ll then basically install Veeam on a new server, and import the VBR Config on the new server then you should be good to go. It’s not too difficult a process, as I just recently did this a couple mos ago. Also, why are you going with Windows 2016, and not either 2019 or 2022? I recommend going with the latest OS if you’re able to. 2016 is already end of general life, altho updates will still happen another 3.5yrs

Just follow what Shane posted here as that is the way.

Thank you very much for this information and to answer your question it’s a simple matter of free licences I have. Starting with Windows 2019 the price of the licence at Microsoft increased like CRAZY. Back with Windows 2016 a “box” (perpetual) licence of W2016 STD was 699$ CAD (I am in Canada) and that’s it. I recently purchased a few W2022 licences for other (more critical) productions servers and with the new licensing model they were like 5000$+ CAD a piece… totally insane price increase!
So since Veeam isn’t like a critical service that requires latest OS, I’ll re-use a W2016 licence I already have in hand to avoid spending 5K$ CAD on a new W2022 licence.
@Simon C. - No problem at all...glad to help out.
“So since Veeam isn’t like a critical service that requires latest OS, I’ll re-use a W2016 licence I already have in hand to avoid spending 5K$ CAD on a new W2022 licence” » Makes sense. Assumed it may be a license thing, but wanted to provide that recommendation regardless 
As the folks have noted above our HelpCenter has a great step by step process documented to help with this exact task. Migrating Veeam Backup & Replication to Another Backup Server
