Yes. Sparc. That was a long time ago as well. But trying doesn't cost anything but time.

Solaris on SPARC and Linux on IBM mainframe share the big-endian byte order. I would be much less optimistic about a database backup and restore involving platforms with opposite byte order, such as a backup from AIX and a restore to Linux on x86.
