I'm not using amanda to back up any Windows boxes, but on some of our Windows 
boxes that do need backed up, using NovaNet Web Backup which does not support 
backing up the Sytem State like Backup Exec does, I just use the built in 
Backup tool to do this. Start / Programs / Accessories / System Tools / Backup, 
tell it to back up the System State only to a file like 
d:\systemstate\backup.btk, then schedule it to do this once a day well in 
advance of when the backup job runs. Then the backup client backs up that flat 
file just fine which Windows could use to restore the registry etc if necessary.
