32bit vs 64bit

[shimonperes]

Hello,

What is the difference between BackupExec 11d 32bit vs 64bit?
I need to backup: windows 2K /2003 fileservers, SQL2000/2005, TFS server, all running 32bit.
Do I need to purchase the 64bit?
Do I gain performance by using the 64bit version?
Are there any issues/problems using the 64bit version, and backing up 32bit systems?
Are the agent’s 32/64bit dependency?
Can I backup 64bit systems with the BackupExec 32bit version?
In the future we will have Exchange2007

Thanks,

64-bit version you need a 64-bit Windows Operating system and the hardware to handle it. There is no seperate purshcase for 64-bit software. The license will work for either one you just need to download the correct version for you OS/Hardware

You can backup a remote 64-bit server with a 32-bit media server.

We're running the 64bit version and it doesn't seem to be any faster than the 32 bit version.

It won't be faster. Should work better though.

It has the same design flaws the 32bit version has. Support is the same.
