Hi,

Firstly, I would like to say thank you so much for your response.

So If I install bacula server on ubuntu (As I have got Ubuntu machine at
my workplace) and client on windows machine and if I follow steps from
the following website

http://www.devtoolshed.com/content/how-back-windows-bacula

will it work?

And one more thing Do I need to install my LTO Tape drive on Ubuntu or
remotely I can access it to store data as I have already installed on
window sever 2003 machine?

Regards,
 
Laxansh K Adesara

One exception to that: the database server could run on anything.  It's 
a client-server relationship.  I see no technical issue with running the

database (i.e. Catalog) on a remote system, which could be anything....
