Just make sure the machine which runs the SD can mount (writable) the
LUN you want to store data to, and I see no problems.

You can distribute Baculas components freely in your network - it's no
problem to have DIR, catalog DB, and SD all running on different machines.

The procedure is simple - follow the manual, configure and start only
the services you need, and make sure your network infrastructure
allows the connections Bacula needs.

That doesn't matter here at all :-)

There are 4 components to consider (director [aka server], file daemon [aka
client], storage daemon and catalog [a SQL database]). Each one can reside
on a different machine in a different place. Backups transfer directly
between the file daemon and storage daemon, they don't go via the director.

You may have many storage daemons and there's no need for any of them to
run on the same server as the director. Position them where you have
suitable storage available.

That should be fine. The bacula file daemon on Win32 works very well.
Be sure to match (or at least not exceed) the file-daemon version with the
director version though, eg. a bacula-fd v5 may not work with a bacula-dir
v3).
