Thank you.  It worked normally for me.  I was able to restore the 32-bit
backup image from TSM server to 64-bit sql server.

Rajesh,

Backups of Sql datafiles are not architectural dependant, so backups and
restores of databases and logs made with an x86 or x64 client will work
on either platform.

Ofcourse you cannot install an x64 client on an x86 machine :-)

Cheers,
Rick
