I don't know that 32-bit and 64-bit databases would be compatible, so
you'd have to export the data from one server to another. It sounds like
you're going to be using the same server, so what you could do is
upgrade the OS to 64-bit, but keep running 32-bit TSM. Then install
64-bit TSM alongside the 32-bit TSM but running on a separate port, and
export the data from the 32-bit install to the 64-bit install. Once
you're done you can shut off and delete the 32-bit install.
