Hi,

I've used Amanda before in a Unix-only shop, but now am interested in
backing up Win32 clients.

I see Amanda.Org still seems to hold the official line of "use smbclient
to backup Win32 clients," but there's a port of Amanda client to Win32
at http://sourceforge.net/projects/amanda-win32 which appears to have
about 5-15 downloads daily for the last week or two.

What can you tell me about the Win32 port of Amanda client software? Is
it appropriate for backing up a heterogenous Win'95, Win'98, Win'XP,
Win'2K network? What are the 'gotchas'?
