32 bit will not be supported for Servers in future NBU releases.

For Windows, this is false.  All existing functionality on 32-bit Windows 2003 and 2008 media or master servers will continued to be supported with NetBackup 7.0.  There is no NBU 7 client for Windows 2000.

For Unix servers, the statement is true and already documented in the compatibility lists as well as the 6.5 release notes.

Windows 64-bit is still a better platform than Windows 32-bit but it's not a mandatory requirement yet.
