I might've gotten BPC to work with the blasted Win-machine. I've installed
DeltaCopy, did some tweaking on DeltaCopy and BPC and then started a full
backup from the web-UI. It's been sitting for some fifteen minutes now w/o
any errors. Seems like it's downloading/creating a file list or something
from the Win-machine.

I'll report back later with any info, and what I did, should this be
successful.
