No, the main problem I've had is with winexe timeout on one specific
destination machine, however, I'm pretty sure that is a networking issue
(ie, there seems to be a flaky DSL connection in the way). I've tried to
add a few things to detect the timeout and kill winexe (because it
doesn't seem to timeout by itself), but this doesn't always work.
Sometimes, backuppc ends up launching multiple copies (one attempt per
backup window), which I login and kill manually.

Adam
