Yes.

Well I don't have experiense of running a rdiff-backup as a
server on a Windows-box, instead what we do is that we make
a scheduled dump in MS SQL to a shared directory readable
only by the backup-user, this is then smbmounted from a
Linux-box which runs the rdiff-backup on it as it was a
local directory. One thing to note if doing smb-mounted
backups is that some programs, if running, lock the used
files (eg. Outlook and .pst-files) in such a manner that
rdiff-backup is unable read the file.
