I’ve tried to create backup on one machine and move to another. But I have a problem since I have different OS (Sun-64 and NT-32). Is there another option to move a Db2 database?

Backups in DB2 do not work to do a migration between some platforms (there is an issue with the endian)
The best way to do your migration (from Sun to Windows) is by using db2move. This tool will create a set of files (one for table) that contains the metadata and the data. With these files, you can import them in other platform by also using db2move and voilà.
