Yes. The linux machine just runs the backup. You can backup any Windows 
machine (and other types) on the network, as long as the directory to be 
backed up is shared.

In the BOBS admin interface on the linux machine, specify the windows 
computer, the share name, and  "smb" for the type of share.

If you actually try this, please let us know if you have more questions 
and/or how it worked. We're getting ready for a new release of BOBS that 
should make the setup a little easier.
