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?

One exception to that: the database server could run on anything. It's a client-server relationship.
