Actually this configuration is supported, with the exception that you can
not back up system state. When using the 5.2 client on Windows 2003, you
need a 5.2 server to back up system state. But regular file backups should
work correctly.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
