I do not think that it is so easy.

If you done it yourself, then ok.  But Symantec sells this service verrryyyy expencive.

I think that, at least, you have to change all catalog files from LF that UNIX systems use to  CR/LF for windows.

This is a blog from someone that has done the opposite. Check it

You can perform below steps to achieve this:

1. First take a catalog backup on solaris master server and save the DR file in safe place
2. Build a windows master server with same hostname and ipaddress as for solaris one and DO NOT PUT ON NETWORK
3. Detach the any devices directly attached to solaris master server and attach with windows master server
4. Turn off the solaris master server and PUT WINDOWS MASTER SERVER ON NETWORK
5. Install Netbackup on the new windows master server and scan for devices attached
6. Import catalog backup, here you will be asked for the DR file.
7. Test the network connectivity between master, media servers and clients
8. Try some test backups and restores.
