Kenny, We are using the 5.3.3.0 x64 package for SQL2005 on x64 Windows2003. The only kink we have run into is that if you install a SQL2000 instance on the machine, it "breaks" VSS, which TDP needs. There is a special patch from MS you need to run against any of these 2k instances (and you need to run it again anytime you install a new 2k instance).
Other than that, we have had no problems, but we don't use differentials, so I cant speak to that.

We installed it on a W2k3 Enterprise x64 server running SQL 2005 SP1 with supported CPU and memory. Initially backups ran fine until larger more utilized databases were added. A few times the server froze during the backup. Each time for during a differential backup. There are no TSM or TSM for DB errors and the event logs and error dumps are no help. We removed TSM for DB's and are using the native SQL backup tool and everything is fine now. That's not much to go off of but if some else has had issues with the x64 client with SQL 2005 then I might get some direction. I think TSM for DB's is more a victum than a cause but the burden of proof has fallen on me. Any acknowlegments of success with this client in a W2k3 x64/SQL 2005 environment would also be appreciated.
