Versions of amanda newer than about 18 months have the capability to
backup to disk files rather than tape files.  This is known as the
"file:driver" and is described on the amanda man page if your version
supports it.

Given that, if you can mount your windows share to the backup host,
then you could point amanda to backup to a directory on the network
rather than the local host.

Otherwise there is not builtin facility to say backup to here but
then move it to there.  You could roll your own scripts to do that
however and kick them off after amanda finishes.
