    Make sure the computer can see the TC hard disk.

     

    See this kb article for that. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1331

     

    You then use a backup software for windows that can handle network drives.. ie not MSBackup for home editions.. it can be pro or ultimate .. hopeless product differentiation... stopping backups from using network drives.

     

    There are one zillion backup software for windows.. 98% on the market can handle network drives.

     

    Choose one you like and go forth and backup.
