Let's not confuse "compatible" with "supported"! :-) *SM has been very good in terms of old clients on old boxes still working with new servers. I still have a bunch of version 2 clients backing up DOS machines. Tivoli won't support that, but they also haven't broken it. Win95, and now Win98, are similar ... don't put the version 5.1 client on them, but if you use what is or was once a supported client for the operating system, you'll find they will work. The down-level backup server is a bit more of a problem. Newer clients tend to run, but without new function that requires backup server support. I don't know, but would guess that a 5.1 Windows client backing up to your 4.1 server might have problems with the registry, as the server has (unfortunately) some functional changes with regard to system objects (I forget the version where this breaks (3.1/3.7/4.1)).
