examine precisely the source code but the "-no-exit" seems to be very
important...

Sourceforge and installed it on W2K boxes: what I've done is installed
it as a WinNT service. I am running it with an Amanda 2.4.3b2 server
on a Linux box, and no errors reported yet (1,5 Go backed up every
night). Not checked with omre recent versions.

Are you SURE there are no errors?  I tested this yesterday.  It
appears that sendbackup only logs the errors tothe debug file in
/tmp/amanda.  Also, each sendbackup process overwrites this file.

It also appears that this doesn`t support excludes.  Amandad reports
the standard exclude list path, but I couldn,t get it to work.

You previously mentioned that amanda maps the archive bit to the UNIX
execute bit.  It is actually the win32 tar that does this.  I believe
Samba also doed this to help preserve the Windows permissions.

This appears to be early alpha quality software, not ready for
production.  Unfortunately, it also appears to be abandoned :-(
