Hi All,

Is there any alternative?

Databases cannot be downgraded. A database on SQL 2008 R2 can only be restored to SQL 2008 R2, not to SQL 2008 (it has nothing to do with the 32 bit/64 bit)

If you need to move the DB down versions, you will need to script all objects, export all data and then recreate the database on the lower version.
