Well, yes, I know *that*. LOL I meant, why would 32 v 64 bit make a 
difference, if I am not running a full system recover of the NW server, 
and am instead just recovering the mm database.

I thought that going from 32bit to 64bit was supported (perhaps not in the 
exact sequence I have outlined, but moving platforms from 32bit to 64bit, 
possibly staying in the same version, surely can't mean that a customer is 
destined to lose potentially years of mm history ...).
