    Hi,

     

    Dont understand your question. The note states "The version of Windows on the old and new master servers does not matter, nor does the bit count, provided they are both supported by NetBackup.  Thus a 32 bit Windows 2003 master server can be replaced by a 64 bit Windows 2008 master server provided both are running NetBackup 6.5.4."

    NetBackup as such doesn't have a bit value, we do offcourse install the bit version that matches the O/S bit, so only 32bit installation will go on a 32bit O/S and same for 64bit.

     

    Is that clear, or am I missing your point?
