I've done it both ways and not had a problem. The biggest hurtle for
incompatibility is block size. For example, Windows would not be able
to read a block size of 256KB. Tape format is tape format weather it is
written by a 64 bit or 32 bit system.

Subject: [Networker] Can 32 bit server read tapes from 64 bit server?
I will be migrating a Solaris platform Networker to a Red Hat Linux
platform server in the near future. For reasons other than Networker,
we would like to run the Linux box as a 64 bit OS. I also have a
separate Networker installation on 32 bit Linux that may be called into
play to read tapes from this new 64 bit installation. Can that be done
or do they have to be the same?
