There are two ways to back up 'doze clients.  See docs/SAMBA in the 
amanda source tarball and discussions of the cygwin client both in the 
2.4.4b1 docs and in the archives of this list.

Neither is perfect.  Samba definitely won't get ACLs, I *think* it can to 
direct restores, and it needs nothing more than a defined share on the 
'doze client.  The cygwin client is pretty new and thus less tested.
