If the backup works (or even if it just doesn't fail spectacularly on startup) then I think any further problems you have will not be related to the 64 bit environment. My expectation is that it will either 'just work', or the plugin will fail to load. If it does fail to load, please let me know what error messages you get so I can see if maybe I could give a more useful message instead.
