MS SQL 2000 backup using BE 2012

Hi,

We have the following details.

Database - MS SQL 2000 SP4 (32bit).

OS - MS Windows 2008 R2 Std.

Now, as BE 2014 is not able to take backup of MS 2000 database server, we went ahead with BE 2012 R3.

We will go ahead with a DEMO first then we will go for Live envt.

As I have checked the BE 2012 compatbilities Docs and found is OK but with a note that we need to install a hotfix.

As I have checked the link as provided in the docs ( Link- http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=913100 ). and found that the hotfix is for Windows 2003 server (32bit).

Please, guys let me know the possibilities pors and corns of this infra.

Will I need to take care of some cautions any tech note ...best practice

Thanks.
