I have the same problem over here. I'm well aware that I could never
restore, at least easly, a windows system partition using backups
based on samba, but at least better than having no backup at all.

By the way, are there off-the-shelf howto to guide setting up a
reliable backup of a NT server using amanda? I tought about something
like using a scheduled backup, using the software that comes with the
system, for microsoft backup images, and then backing up those images
(maybe in full-only mode) using samba and amanda.

Does anyone has any experience on this?

Cheers,

Rodrigo
