The backup is bootable once restored. The question is getting into an environment where you can restore it.
Since the OSX install disc doesn't have complete network support, you can't do it with a disc you have. So, you need to create an environment that will allow access to your Windows network -- and that's done with the procedure I've recommended.
Better: get a FireWire drive (about $100) and back up directly to it. Then, you can start up directly from the backup -- much better!
