 This question is probably better directed to a MySQL specific list. I don't 
think Bacula will have any problem scaling depending on your configuration on 
spooling, and the size of your largest backup/restore jobs.

 In regards to switching to 64-bit OS; the hardware you mention (4GB, dual-core 
CPUS) is better suited to 64-bit OS. Once you go above ~3.5GB in system memory, 
32-bit OS stops being able to use it all.

 I have all my GNU/Linux boxes running 64-bit for future-proofing of upgrades, 
even those with only 2GB currently installed :)
