I do hope you meant '4.3.3' ;-)

I would try to transfer them first, then seize if this fails (add 
--force to the seize command)

I wouldn't do that, there was a bug that left you with a non-operating DC

This is where I would 'walk' up the minor versions 4.3.3 -> 4.7.x -> 
4.8.x -> 4.10.x

I hope my explanation above answers those questions.
